This morning I got a few more shots of the ant colony before we headed out. Pictured to the left is my camera coupled with the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM lens. You can see how long it is and the need for a tripod to support it. In the shot below you can make out the spikes on the ant's back. I'm not sure what kind of ant it is but it's got some heavy armor, pretty cool. I couldn't get it focused any better because he kept moving around.I really like doing macro shots of insects and I especially like shooting spiders. I'm not quite sure what my fascination is with them... I'd like to try some infra-red photography sometime too. With infra-red the shots come out looking kinda like negatives. It's a neat effect, I'll post some in the near future.
We got into Calexico this afternoon and delivered the goods. Right now we're parked at the end of the road in this industrial complex. We didn't get an empty trailer so that makes it harder to get another load. Hopefully something will turn up in the morning.
