The Hunt

October 15, 2007

One of the most dramatic macro shots I’ve taken, is this picture of an ant hauling a dead fly.

But it was not easy to frame this shot as the ant was bent on getting away with the priced trophy. To take this shot, I set the Canon PowerShot G6 to super macro recording mode, set the burst mode to “H” for high-speed (but still very slow at 1.8fps), set the dial to “P” for programme and set my mind, also to “P” for prayer.
