Wasp closeups (caution: large pics!)

[Verse914]

My father in law has a wasp nest above his garage so I took some pics

Awesome pics! If you dont mind me asking what camera settings did you use?

If I ever got that close to a wasp, it would be because I was running as fast as I could and the wasp was gaining on me. 8O AWESOME pics though!

How far where you from the wasp?

I particularly enjoy that last one (the last big one, not the thumbnail)

Yep, I agree the last linked one is the best. How many CU filters did you stack? I'm guessing you did them all, +4,+2,+1. I too am curious as to how close you were and other than the second were they cropped?

 

[Verse914]

Thanks everyone. I think the second one is the only one that is cropped. If i did crop any of the others, it was just a little (but i dont think I did crop them any). i was using the +4 with a few of them and added the +2 with a couple. With the +4 I was about 8" away, and about 4-5" away with the +4 and +2 stacked.

Wow--those are some pics!
So, after taking the pics, you sprayed the wasp's nest??

Although those are extremely good picture, I had a hard time looking at them because I am SOOOOOO afraid of them....

That's as much fun as the pictures. Great pix!

lol. No, my father in law takes pics of them too with his Sony 717. He lets them build their nests as they havent bothered him...he takes pics of them a few times a month and they never mess with him
