As I roamed the yard looking for subjects, the clouds started sprinkling
on me. As I started in the back door, I noticed a black ant,
approximately 15mm in length, on the storm window frame, which is
somewhat corroded after 50 years. I set the Leica-R 60mm at 1:1 and got
him in focus. I had never used this lens this close to a subject, so
did not know what to expect. Cropped and straightened, he displays
whiskers fore and aft that I could not see with my normal glasses. At
f/5.6 and 1/500 in low light, the ISO was racked up to 4000.
