Description First of a camping photos series.
As we arived to the camping place, I saw a caterpillar hanging from a tree and wanted to take a photo, but as I took out my camera, a wasp came and took the caterpillar for her.
----------
Primer foto de campamento.
Cuando llegamos al lugar de acampado, vi una oruga colgando de un árbol y le quise tomar una foto, pero en lo que sacaba la cámara y todo, una avispa vino y se la llevó.

Macro shot: Nikon Coolpix 2700 (me)

Nice shot, the reflective surface really helps this stand out... as well as the insect violence

Wow! Very nice job capturing that! Great job focusing on the wasp and its prey. Is that the hood of a car it's sitting on?

alionv In reply to AlienShore [2007-07-06 16:33:50 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it's the hood of my mother's car.

i really like the shallow depth of field because it isolates the fly. however it might be a little too shallow because the fly's wings are a little blurry.

alionv In reply to MarshmallowsYAY [2007-03-27 15:26:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comment, I have noted what you write, but not too much can be done, I don't have a macro lense, so the tip of the wings is blurry in the original

MarshmallowsYAY In reply to alionv [2007-03-27 19:00:36 +0000 UTC]

yeah i have that problem a lot as well because i dont have a macro lens either. you could try to fix it in photoshop but it is not that noticable i was just looking extra close
