Atta colombica
Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, and just wanted to share some of the photos of one of the colonies I keep, the Atta colombica.
I am a friend of Adam Hart the LCA expert, and have learnt a lot from him about these little beauties. This colony has been thriving and I will be looking to expand them to make it easier to photograph. Yup, you have guessed it right, I am a professional photographer and photographing LCA is one of my passions, so you will have to excuse me if you get Macro photographs of LCA overload

Astonishing photographs Ayub!!
Absolutely amazing.
I am, right now, putting my Nikon D3 in the bucket!
The Atta colombica look great. Do you have any similar photos of A cephalotes for comparison?

Re: Atta colombica
Hi Ayab, Is great having someone with your photography skills on here. Would love to own such a lens myself but they aren't cheap. Anyway am sure its one of those things where quality equipment can produce amazing photos in skilled hands lol.
Look forward to see more.

Hi, you would be surprised at what you can use to take high magnification photographs like this, even higher, with extremely low cost equipment.deansie26 wrote:Hi Ayab, Is great having someone with your photography skills on here.

Like you said, its the right technique and skills that help capture these kind of images really. More than expensive equipment
