Ant

Camponotus vagus

Hi Sandor,

 

nice and simple close-up composition with this black ant starring in it. I like the quiet fore- and background that make sure I'm not distracted by other elements of the image. Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you, Vincent. I normally try to precompose photos to reduce the number of distracting elements. It may be because I used to participate in photo competitions where distractive elements in a photo were highly unwelcome. (Off-note, once I won a national photo competition in bird photography in Hungary, some of my photos were published in books and selected for National Geographic exhibitions). Nowadays, I only take photos in my garden with a compact camera. Kind regards, Sandor

Hi Sandor,

 

your response to my comments explains how you go about having no distracting elements in your photos. The winning of a national competition and selection of your work for National Geographic exhibitions are something to be proud of. Your evident skills will make you get good results out of garden photos with a compact camera as well. Kind regards, Vincent

It is very kind of you, Vincent. Warm regards, Sandor

Sandor, impressive work. Greetings, Franz

Thank you, Franz. Best, Sandor
