Description Shot with reverse Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens and extension tubes

The wasp was already dead... that helped me quite a lot to get these photos.

German wasp (Vespula germanica)


Many thanks to to =Berryness for suggesting and ^dandelgrosso for featuring this as a DD

What a macro! Absolutely amazing.

And yes, it does help (at least with insect photography) if your subject is dead.

Hechser In reply to ??? [2008-12-11 20:01:50 +0000 UTC]

I love this shot. The choice of depth is perfect for an artistic point of view , but i would love to see a documentary shot to show the wasp in crisp quality.
This shot definetly inspires, and its incredibly intimidating - but the colours would suggest that ofcourse.
Seeing a Bug closer than a 1:1 macro ratio is amazing for such a detailed micro shot.

Excellent
