I've already told this to the esteemed entymologist Daniel from Caracas. <BR/><BR/>This 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.<BR/><BR/>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. <BR/>Then I cropped it a little to make it appear even closer. <BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>I took about a dozen before opening the window and letting it out. It seemed like a fair trade.jkirlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303742117083141885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668897.post-1118921388853340512005-06-16T07:29:00.000-04:002005-06-16T07:29:00.000-04:00fantastic, crisp with beautiful shadowfantastic, crisp with beautiful shadowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668897.post-1118908469536149182005-06-16T03:54:00.000-04:002005-06-16T03:54:00.000-04:00Outstanding close-upOutstanding close-upAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668897.post-1118897657215649012005-06-16T00:54:00.000-04:002005-06-16T00:54:00.000-04:00Good shot!Good shot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668897.post-1118895104735311882005-06-16T00:11:00.000-04:002005-06-16T00:11:00.000-04:00Very good, I'd say!Very good, I'd say!kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668897.post-1118893894761706012005-06-15T23:51:00.000-04:002005-06-15T23:51:00.000-04:00Excellent shot!
