Ants. Yes, ants. What about ants? A lot, if you ask me.

For one thing, with point-and-shoot camera it’s almost impossible to get a sharp picture of ants without firing the flash because they kept on moving and their bodies are made of tiny parts.

For another, flashlight freezes the subject nicely, but it could also spoil it all the same. As evidence in the photos here, direct flashlights burns out a picture.

It makes close up pictures look flat and two-dimensional. I think I need to get myself a flashgun.
