  1. Excellent. The whole works. Ken. ps light Shadow etc

  2. Wow, that Ricoh rocks when it comes to macro!

  3. That’s just superb. I’ve seen those hairs, but I never thought I’d see a photo of them that crisp. Fantastic!

  4. Wow! Great macro shot. I love the detail on its head.

  5. run, you fools! the giant ants are upon us!

  6. Awesome. I think you’ve found the Ricoh’s sweet spot. 🙂

  7. Yup… silly me. Using the flash makes all the difference. I thought it would wash out the macro shots, but actually, it seems essential in anything other than broad daylight.

    This was a 2cm distance macro. The camera goes to 1cm, but I can’t fit the lens inside the ant farm…. I might have to let a few out to see if I can get closer…

  8. Incredible macro. I take my hat off to you.

  9. Holy Macro Batman!!! That is one hairy ant… Great shot…

  10. Thanks y’all! Ants are way cool.

  12. What was the camera and additional lens (if any) that you used? This is a really nice macro shot.

  20. I wish that this was one of mine. Great.

  21. Look at the little beard,how amazing!!

  22. "Bearded lady" always reminds me of that scene from the end of Spaceballs:

    Dark Helmet: "Who are you?"
    Bearded Lady: "I’m the Bearded Lady! What’re you, one of the freaks?"
    And then she evicts DH from his escape capsule and takes it herself.

  23. wow… looks even better in larger size!!!

  24. Is he coming out from an ice cave? Superb !!
