Description

Hymenoptera:Formicidae, this is the face of a relatively large ant. F32, 1/200s, ISO200, Ringflash, +4 diopter lens, plus a stack of extension tubes (12mm +20mm + 36mm Kenko) in between the camera and my 60mm Nikkor macro lens. This gives an approximate magnification of 3.5. This image is a focus stack of 4 frames. I adjusted exposure, contrast, color and reduced noise application. Taken in Raleigh, NC USA on March 15, 2010
