For Half Nekkid Thursday And fear not, Gentle Viewers, this will not be a blog you must avoid on Thursdays because I'm only doing this o...
Excellent shot! May I ask what camera you used to take this picture?

Caracas, Venezuela
Very good, I'd say!
ReplyDeleteGood shot!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding close-up
ReplyDeletefantastic, crisp with beautiful shadow
ReplyDeleteOk..it's confession time. I've already told this to the esteemed entymologist Daniel from Caracas.
ReplyDeleteThis wasp was inside my apartment trying to fly back out through the window. It would do it for a while then hang on the windowsill and rest before trying it again.
I used the Nikon Coolpix 4600 which has a sweet macro focal length of 3 cm. My Kodak DX6490 can only macro focus to 12cm.
Then I cropped it a little to make it appear even closer.
To get the shots, I simply held the camera out away from me as far as I could, then I went running, screaming like a little girl after each shot.
I took about a dozen before opening the window and letting it out. It seemed like a fair trade.
Stunning! What an amazing shot. Is it a leather-jacket, is that what they call them? Anyway, that's one extreme close-up. ;-)
ReplyDeleteZowie! I'm just having images of a very pissed yellowjacket taking off after the photographer...
ReplyDeletealexandra: YELLOW jacket. :)
ReplyDeletebilly: You clearly missed the part about running and screaming like a little girl. Heh heh
yeah, b.s. kirlin that thing's c.g.i.
ReplyDeletenice ray-tracing on the abdomen lighting, tho. not quite as good as your moth, but still.
Oh Wow!!! This is such a great shot!
ReplyDeleteLoved the story about taking the shot :D
Thought about saving money for this camera myself. Good to see how great it works.
Awesome shot, even if it was cropped. Focusing like this is a bitch! Are you sure this is an insect? It looks like that flying car I keep asking Santa for.
ReplyDeleteGreat, great submission, Jeff, for a year later :)
