Emergency in an ant-colony!

Denise moved a flowerpot and found an ant colony.

The ants, like well-trained boy scouts, are prepared for everything. Their first task was to move all exposed and naked ant-eggs deeper into the colony's nest. My task was to try to get a decent picture before they did so.

As you can see I was not so well prepared; I didn't set the ISO high enough, so couldn't get enough DoF to get pin-sharp images of the industrious scurrying ants, also I had chosen the wrong focussing mode for rapidly moving targets. Nevertheless, the artistic members of the family feel that this is an interesting image.

I hope you like it.

Any other advice on improving my MACRO technique will be received with thanks.
