As the weeks go by, I am still working on a lot of photos from my summer in the parks. In Grand Canyon one night, I noticed a tree covered in ants. It seemed as though two rival colonies were attacking each other, and so we watched for the better part of an hour.
These ants were tiny, most could fit on the tip of a pencil. Chuck, Federico and I took turns with a special macro lens, the MPE-65, to take such detailed shots. We also lit the scene with flash units. The ants went on all night, and when I woke up in the morning, you could see little curled carcasses still stuck to the tree!
