Very nice pictures. I especially like the last one. Well done, Distinctly Average.

Nice shots. In general wasps are not aggressive to us. The scariest ones often give warnings first. I do tend to avoid nests though, like as in your shot.For some of them 60mm is fine. For others I prefer 500mm - by safety reasons!

Thanks. What amazes me most about ISV’s shot is just how much detail he has managed to get on such a small subject with a 500mm lens.@ ISV and DIstincly Average,
Very nice shots, guys.
Nice shot. What diffuser did you use for the flash? Also interested to hear your ISO choice when using flash? I can only guess it was to balance the background?OK, another one for You!
Also with the Laowa 60mm macro but on an Eos R/MT24 @ 1/400s, ISO1600, f/8
A good reason to try deepPrime processing a macro.
Cool stuff. Always great to hear how others work. I tend to stick to ISO 100-400 rarely going higher. I either create a very close background, such as picking an angle where it is nice and close. Or I pick a well lit background by moving around the subject and picking a suitable spot. Probably I have worked like that as I used to shoot on a 7D and the high iso was not the best. Your lovely camera seems to do a superb job at 1600.I used no diffusors (bought a pair since).
I prefer Iso 1600 for brighter background and less highlights/reflections. But I will try Iso 3200 this summer and processing with deepPrime. Maybe I can get a more natural look.
What lens and aperture did you use?Think this is a Red Legged Robber Fly. Reminds me more of a gangster from a Hollywood movie, cigar and all.

I was actually out birding along a riverbank when this guy caught my eye. The undergrowth was a little thick to get close so it is cropped in. Details are:What lens and aperture did you use?
