I really loike the first one Rense. High quality work as we expect from you. Cheers JIM<

Very nice shots of a braconid wasp (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Your photos are so clear that an expert might even be able to identify it to species (which is no easy feat even under a microscope). Well done!

I've seen this type of wasp in my garden too, across the other side of the North Sea... TINY! F22 on the reversed lens? I had a look at your setup with homemade hood on Flickr, mine's very similar =)

Thanks, yes, it's tiny indeed! F22 on the Panagor. Do you set the aperture on the reversed lens?

Nass · 04-29-2012, 12:36 PM

I do, yes, but that's cause usually I use tubes. But ugh, it's just too horribly dark, f/8 is about my limit.

Rupert · 04-29-2012, 12:36 PM

Neat shots.....I wonder how many kinds of wasps there are in this world? Nice shooting!
Regards!

Nass · 04-29-2012, 02:38 PM

Yeah. I'd really like to find some of those ruby wasps, they're gorgeous!

**Rense** · 04-29-2012, 02:46 PM

We had those ruby wasps in our garden, two years ago. If I remember well, they are quite early flyers, but I did not notice them this year.... Hope they will return! They are great....

Ah, thanks! Yes I wondered about that.... I guess it's easier to mount it in front of a (macro or not) lens then...... I will control aperture more easily!

Wow, amazing shots, Rense! Your macro work is impeccable.
