Whew, 12.5 hours to go and I made it. This is the Dogwood Challenge - this week" Capturing a captivating wildlife photograph requires knowledge of your camera settings and the behavior of the animal. Capture a compelling wildlife photograph that has proper subject alignment and exposure..."
Well with those rules I set out to find some wildlife, a bird, a squirrel, a prairie dog, a chipmunk anything not hiding from my camera on my walk. Nada, except a lone sunflower in the sun with ants. It was covered with the little ones gathering what ever they gather on a sunflower. I pulled out my phone with a macro lens attached and hoped that I wouldn't bother them too much.
@angelunderwater I say that Ants are important as there so many of them but... they can stay important elsewhere as well.
@jernst1779 Thank you so much. I have to admit that I wasn't really making much effort in composition but just pressing the shutter as I walked around the flower. Basically got lucky.
@joemuli Thank you so much, the little guys were just fascinating to watch too.
@golftragic Thank you and luck had a big part here. I do really like having the iPhone as a camera - the extra lenses that can attach are fun too.
@yaorenliu I did have a lenses attached. I wasn't too keen on getting the iPhone too close since there were do many ants crawling all over the flower.
@ideetje Thank you a great deal. I was trying to capture crows or ravens flying but they weren't being cooperative. Maybe I should bring food to bribe them with :):)
