I feel really really lucky that I was able to capture this black-and-white ant(?) this close up and this sharp with my semi-defunct lens. π Using the built-in flash for fill light helped a lot, and I shot a couple of stops lower than the optimum to reduce camera shake (just compensated for the darker result in Lightroom). This is a cropped photo by the way, since I do not have a dedicated macro lens for my camera (yet).
Anywho, it’s been raining most of the day and I am quite happyΒ and thankful with the resulting cooler temperature. The sky is quite cloudy too so I have not seen any sunlight yet, but then I woke up way late in the afternoon and it was raining then. Had a very late lunch, with a big fat crab as ulam. Yum! Pretty much just lazing around here. Currently on the terrace with the Mama and Tita just chatting about whatever over mikironΒ (which I just finished the last of).Β I love lazy, rainy Sundays. π
I love lazy days, too! Can I just say that’s a really cool shot from your really cool camera? π
Thanks thanks Nadette! π
sis, your photos are getting better and better π
Really? π Good to hear that, sure hope you’re right. Thanks Anne! π
Amen to lazy, rainy Sundays! π
Indeed! So relaxing and all. π
This is so pretty.
Thanks Rae! π
That’s a cool close up…how odd that has white on it. I agree lazy Sundays are great!
I think most everyone here loves lazy Sundays as well. π Yeah, it was interesting that it has white streaks on it, that’s why I couldn’t be sure this is your regular ant. π
