I am not fast…well, not as fast as an ant. My husband was outside during the weekend and motioned for me to come outside to look at the plants. While I was outside, I noticed all these ants running around our front door. I thought I’d get a shot of them. This simple objective proved much harder than it initially appeared, but I got it.

Love it! Nice work —- Those little buggers don’t pose real well sometimes!
As long as they stay outside the house… This ant should be paying you for such a nice portrait!
Wow. I bet that was hard work getting the ant in focus. Nice job!
That is an awesome shot! I can only imagine that those little buggers were hard to capture they are fast.
Love the detail! Cool little guy.
AMAZING!!!! Great patience to try to capture all the creepy crawlers (& flyers)!!!!
i hate ants so much- but i love this picture
Love the shot!
I got you linked up.
I love your ant! Hope your training goes great!!
This is a fabulous photo!
Ohhh weee, now that’s a macro shot! Very cool
We had SUCH an ant problem this year!!
Much prefer ants when they’re outside.
Cool shot.
My son saw this picture and announced, “Look! An ant. My friend!” We have sugar ants here that like to feast off the crumbs of a three year old-it’s an ongoing battle, but we’ve enjoyed looking at the little buggers through a magnifying glass…and then squashing them!
This picture made me smile! And it made my son’s day!
Excellent detail and DoF. You managed to make an ant look good!
What a great shot of my nemesis in the kitchen! I’ve spent many an hour cleaning up ants in our house – maybe it’s all the crumbs under Georgia’s chair!
Well, I never would think an ant would be pretty, but you made it pretty for me.
Yup!! Ants are pretty fast ones!! I tried to get a pic of one the other day to no avail :o/ Great macro!
I’ve triend this before. SO freaking hard. Makes you appreciate how amazing eyesight really is.
GOOD job! And Happy Monday
This is great! My 4-year old son loves it, too!
Fun shot! I hate most bugs, but for some reason am intrigued with ants!
Wow that is amazing!! Great shot.
I like the ant in sharp focus and the gradual blur of the background. Great shot.
Awesome job Ashley! With that absolutely tiny depth of field and fast moving ants… WOW! Look at that dof! I am totally impressed.
Love the close up. I love all the colors/details of all your photos, I need to change my layout so it shows photos bigger it really grasp my atention :-)!
ants could be fast, great capture!
This reminds me of Honey I shrunk the kids when they are being chased by ants in the front yard… great shot!
Good job! I don’t like ants much, but this is such a great picture.
Cool shot! And I don’t even like ants. At all.
Cool shot! I’m surprised i am even saying this since every time, i go to pick some tomatoes from my garden, i’m bitten by a few ants(i think there’s a nest somewhere around the garden). The latest incident was just this evening. Nonetheless, this would make a great framed piece for a mantle:-).
You sure did! Great job!
Good capture! I have a hard time capturing small insects without having to get TOO close and I don’t want to get too close to these bugs!
Wow, what an awesome shot! Nice capture.
This is so cool! Awesome capture!
I appreciate the shot, just not so much the subject.
this is a very cool shot ashley!
this is amazing!
xo erin
fabulous! and kind of creepy… i think ants are tolerable insects because they are so small you can’t normally see their “antness”…
very cool shot.
Amazing macro, nice work!
I’m still trying on ants..They ARE very fast, they can be still and after the click they are gone!! But I never give up hope
Yours are great shot!!
VERY COOL!!!! I love this!!! You are soooo talented!!!!
