Busy builders

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Weaver ants in the nest

An attempt to capture the busy builders housed inside the under construction weaver ant's nest. The natural light was giving a unique feel to the fresh nest, but while trying to capture in the cam, it seemed difficult to capture the details. In an attempt to capture the essence of it, I tried illuminating the leaf by firing the flash from the back, hence aiding in capturing the rough silhouettes of the busy workers.

Nice. The silhouette of the ants can be seen, but I feel some more light would have enhanced it further. Thanks for sharing.

Good Prespective of capturing the image.
