[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One day after a heavy rain, I was sitting in my terrace of my house when I saw many black ants coming out of their holes and moving on the tiles towards another holes.

I was interested of their action and immediately grabbed my EOS 300D, and started to shoot at them.

You know what, first I used tripod and tele, but then I decided to only use the kit lens without tripod as actually I found out it is not easy to take a picture of the small tiny moving object, especially ants, they are moving so fast. Although I had to sit down on the floor and bend my back and neck for almost one hour but I feel lucky I can capture one moment when 3 ants like holding hands each other (or maybe they were saying : "One for all, all for one", just like the three musketteers)

I did not use flash, so set ISO at 400 with high speed of 1/800 and aperture setting at f/5.6

I did post pocessing : cropping and contrast adjustment

I hope you like it

Interesting shot!
The photo looks quite strange, but I like it. Maybe it would be good to make bigger close up, but this looks good too.
Well done!
