I now have a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. Basically that means I can take photos of really small things like ants, as well as good portrait shots because of the small depth of field; ie., things will be fuzzy in the background, and the person/dog in the foreground will be crisply clear. I went out into the back yard to see what I could capture, as soon as I unwrapped the lens. Not sure what these Argentine ants are doing on my flowering thyme, but they made for a good test subject. The challenge is to hold the camera as steady as possible when photographing small things, as the area in focus is so specific. All the more difficult when insects are moving around. Not the best pic, but I'm just trying things out...
