That wasp is incredible, Oren.

imtheguy · 10-19-2009, 05:36 PM

I don't even want to hear that you only used ONE shot to get the wasp. I could shoot for a month and not nail the focus like you did on that sucker. Great job.

**Ash** · 10-19-2009, 05:39 PM

Brilliant detail Oren.
That wasp looked right into the lens - got him at the right moment.
Well done.

causey · 10-19-2009, 05:50 PM

Wow! Very impressive.

MRRiley · 10-19-2009, 06:13 PM

Superb marcros... And that wasp needs a haircut!

Mike

Amazing shots! I especially like the colors in the first! Stunning details, too...I don't know how you get in so close

Thank you Adam, I run into the spiders all day long on my route. I brought a couple home and let them crawl around on the GFs flowers.

Heres another of the Wasp for you all. I fiddled with the WB and I think I like the color better. I will have to go back and play with them all some more.

Thanks agian

holy moly oren.... super detail, great lens used superbly.... (can't tell how much i liked these..lol)

Igilligan · 10-20-2009, 08:48 AM

Simply amazing wasp shot...

Hats of on so many levels that I won't be wearing a hat for a while.

I will say I like the color better in the first shot, before color tweaks. But I am on an uncalibrated monitor so 'grain of salt'...

flippedgazelle · 10-20-2009, 09:45 AM

Oh man, these are spectacular!

You said, "thanks for looking"... I say, "thanks for posting!"

Bud · 10-20-2009, 10:28 AM

Excellent shooting, Oren! The wasp is very, very nice

I don't want to be the cause of a cold/flu so I'll forgive ya if you put the hat back on.
Thanks a bunch.

Thanks Bud, all this encouragement is going to make practicing a lot easier.

MattC · 10-20-2009, 05:37 PM

The lighting on these are really great - well done.

I would be interested in your comments regarding the differences between your 105 macro lens and your Sigma 70 macro.

Love the wasp photo. Is that snow the wasp is on? The first is rather good as well.
