These were captured hand-held a couple of days ago at a local nature reserve using my FZ330 bridge camera with two stacked Raynox 150 close-up lenses and a KX800 twin flash. The raw files were batch processed in DXO Optics Pro and Silkypix, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom. There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album at Flickr.

These are in the order in which they were captured.

Top stuff nick, as said, hard little buggers even if they are still, top lighting / diffusion also (as always)

Thanks Andrew, Icy, Graham.

I have always found ants rather difficult. As often seems to be the case at least with the ants I see, these two were moving around a lot, so for some and perhaps most of these the ants were in motion. I haven't had much success with ants until recently. The difference may be to do with my kit, in particular the FZ330. I think it autofocuses faster for this sort of shot than my other cameras. I can't think of any other reason.
