the ipad wifi app worked a treat with these. they weren't a happy bunch shall we say.

A great series Chris, the first and last are my pick. Nice lighting.

Chris,

I really like #3 - the "eye" contact of the wasp sends a shiver down my spine.

I have had several encounters with these beasties so I admire your determination in setting up the camera in a position to get the shots (regardless of shooting with wifi).

Yes, great lighting. Any flash?

They are superb.

thanks all.

victor these are with the em1 and i believe for a couple they had a flash mounted and bounced off the wall.
i then mounted the d800 and extension tubes and thats when things got very hairy and several sorte's had to be avoided.

the em1 holds its own at web size albeit with a bit of tweaking. but the detail of the d800e at full res and SOOC is unreal. these are the d800 ones.

Outstanding Roozsy. You have done well to get this close. I did get stung in the eyelid one day by an angry European wasp, so I have the utmost for these beautiful little critters. I have just as much respect for you in getting this close!

Yep - that last one is pretty epic - it's interesting that the DoF of the EM1 shots seem to be a lot less than the D800 - I totally would have expected both the half size sensor and the working distance to way in it's (the Oly's) favour. Looking again - perhaps it's just that the focus drop off on the D800 is sharper and the EM1 sort of just gradually blurs which I think I like less?

Thanks Ozi. There were a few close calls focussing the d800, I won't be making a habit of it.
Rodney, think the oly was being shot at f5 and the d800 was f11ish. I prefer that pop the d800 gives aswell.
