Ants drinking a drop of honey. 02.jpg

Ants drinking a drop of honey. I propose these photos taken years ago and which are among my favorite macros. One day a drop of honey fell on the floor on my balcony and several little ants gathered around to feed on it. I took the cue and set up a white card with different types of honey, after a while many little ants gathered around to eat. I photographed these ants drinking a drop of honey with Pentax*ist DS, Dental macro lens with ring flash and 2x add-on lens, f/22, 1/180sec, ISO 200. Thanks for your comments

Great macro shot!

d._green many thanks for your visit and apprecciated comment, ciao Gingiorgio

Giangiorgio, the technical quality of these two macros is superb and the composition and balance too! Do we have to thank this machine or the lenses used? Both, of course, but not to forget the master behind them!

This dental macro lens is outstanding, these ants are smaller than 2mm yet the detail of the legs and antennae is very clear, dear Pierre grazie mille for your continued support, ciao Giangiorgio
