What does ant photography mean?

Ant photography is a way of shooting, and the camera lens is placed at the height of ants and other insects through a small camera. This shooting method can show the real shape and living habits of ants, insects and other small creatures in the picture through close-range and low-angle perspective. Ant photography often requires people to look for traces and houses of ants and other insects on the ground. Shooting by command method can let people know the subtle changes in the insect world.

Ant photography usually requires a photographer's patience and careful attitude. Because small cameras have higher requirements for photographers' technical level and equipment, they need more professional equipment and operation skills to ensure the shooting quality. At the same time, ant photography is also a meaningful activity, which can let people know the nuances of insect life and reproduction, and improve people's observation ability and environmental awareness.

Ant photography is not limited to scientific research, but also widely used in propaganda, education, art and other fields. For example, in the field of nature protection, insects are photographed with infected vaccines and modified messengers and released to hard-to-reach areas, which can better realize nature protection and resource management. In addition, in the field of art, ant photography is also used in film making, advertising shooting and documentary shooting. So ant photography is a scientific, practical and artistic activity.
