LOL, yes, I'll try that. One technique that sometimes work well is to
do two raw conversions, one optimalised, and one that's two stops
underexposed. Then copy the highlights from the underexposed one into
the optimalised one, with a suitable degree of feathering.

Nice shot. I would probably Photoshop the highlights out of there. I
don't know if a ringflash would help either. You'll still get some
flash burn.

Those little critters are hard to keep in focus when working hand
held. It's pretty much hit and miss, and this is the best I've
managed so far.
One particular problem with ants is that their hide is hard and
shiny. With a bare flash, the highlights become specular and burned
out. Using a miniature softbox lessen the problem, but it's not all
gone. Does anyone know a good way to handle this without resorting
to ring flashes?
