 I haven't posted here for ages! For that matter I haven't done much photography for ages. I didn't lose interest, life just got a bit too busy. But spring is here and its time to break out the camera gear and start shooting some bugs. In the meantime I've been going through my files and came accross this picture of a bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) that I shot last summer. I love the face on this beast...and the way these wasps rest with their front legs off the ground. Cheers, EC www.macrocritters.wordpress.com Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5 Lens: Zuiko 60mm micro four thirds macro Settings: manual exposure (F11 @ 1/160 sec) Lighting: Olympus flash (I don't remember which one or the setting—oops!) ISO: 200 |
