:) You got me laughing in stitches with that comment :).
My be I should invite you all one day to visit my modest tropical house and help you all brush off some photography techniques and grasp some secrets of Macro Photography. Adam can tell I run my workshops in a very simple practical way and everyone benefit always and go on building on from there to improve their skills, from intermediate to expert level photographers.
Ran a photography workshop at Gloucester University few months ago and was great.
Andrew let's have a look at some of your shots. Are they in the other section? I haven't actually glanced in there, been hectic past lately but I think I will head in there and put my head in the section.

I am sure you are exaggerating lol and you won't be soiling my thread at all. Go ahead when you load them let's have a look at them. I am sure you might have some gems in there. That Nikon D3 is a wonderful camera.
What lens do you use with it to take shots of the Ants?

Okay, Ayub, I have posted some pictures in the Off topic discussion area at the bottom of the forum. See what you think.

Jamie, I am sure even ants are covered by the law against cruelty. Blowing one up and putting it on your wall is exactly the type of behaviour that gets you arrested and thrown off our forum. Leave them ants alone!! :ugeek:
