Nice capture.

Couldn't get that ant much sharper!!

Both colors accent the ant well.

Thanks for sharing.

Okay, James...share...how does one mount three flashes on a lens?

That ant! Holy smokes is he gorgeous! I want that lighting on my next self-portrait!

This is very nicely done. For some reason the blue's in the picture catch my attention.

Julie,
Nikon has a wireless system that allows you to screw an adapter onto the lens' filter threads.
I used 3 SB-R200 flash heads (they are small) that mount to the adapter. The SB-R200s are controlled wirelessly in camera with the D300 and other Nikon bodies.

The ant is tack sharp and OOF areas and colors give this a wonderful abstract look.
