Just shot this about an hour ago. When I viewed it full size I was amused at what I saw in the carapace of the ant. Look close and you'll see my unintentional self-portrait. :lol:

Some days are just tooooo funny! :wink:

Ok, did I mention that I am really tired of you and your photos!?

I mean, come on..."oops, I just accidentally captured a self portrait of myself on the body of an ant"

Hey, I didn't even see the ant until I got it into the computer. I cheated- that's a crop from a larger frame.

Just to make you feel better, I'll put this up for your amusement:

This is called "saving the blooper." Trip the shutter while getting the exposure/focus info

, put a frame around it with a nice title and say "I planned it that way." Nobody believes you, but it allows you to slink off with some of your dignity intact. :lol:

I've done even worse than that. I was doing some catalogue shots and one of a silver ring looked a bit uninteresting so I got an accomplice to shine a light into it. You can clearly see reflections of both of us. The shot looks great and full of interest but it was not suitable for its intended purpose.
