It was tough. I had to pick one of the plants that they like to hover over, get a focus lock (since the G2 had no manual focus), then note the distance from the plant, keep the button halfway down, and wait for the wasps to hover over that area. Then get the camera about the same distance I was before but a tiny distance back, and finish snapping the shot. I went through several. I believe I also was using a +4 macro filter with a filter tube and was only about 3 inches away from them each time. They get a bit upset... Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery

racketman Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 16, 2005 13:26 | #6 some kind of Digger Wasp I presume - they are nice shots; at first I thought they should be cropped more closely but then I kind of liked the suburban background - like one of those documentaries about wildlife doing their thing around us unnoticed.

Thank you for the feedback, I am just getting into the whole composition of the shot thing. I liked the view on 2 of the 3 because of the clarity of the flower and wasp, and the very blurry background, with nothing really centered on the photo. My favorite in that gallery is my daughter's eye with the reflection of the lens. Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery
