Wasps in flight - view larger

Wasps in flight. This image was achieved from the fusion with the

focus stacking method of four photographs of wasps flying around an

inflorescence of ferula ( Ferula communis). The photos were not taken

with a macro lens but with the Sigma 300-800mm super telephoto at

800mm from the minimum focus distance of 6 meters. The background is

completely blurred and brings out the wasps in flight. Even I was

amazed by the quality of this lens and the ability to freeze the fly

of these insects from the flight very fast. Thanks for your comments

Well done!  It's amazing the clarity of the wasps In flight.

Un altro scatto fantastico! Molte delle tue foto mi lasciano davvero a bocca aperta! Complimenti Giangiorgio! Massimo

Un attacco aereo in piena regola! Perfetta come al solito.

Dear Giangiorgio, I'm impressed by the way you got the image from  so a distant place and finally getting the quality of a macro.

At first I thought it was fennel (Foeniculum vulgare / Umbelliferous) but I see is a tall, large shrub.

The best for me is the quality: sharpness, lights ... and the remnants of movement on the wings of wasps, which makes that it is not a static picture.

No movement in the wings, would not be so shocking.

Congrats Giangiorgio, it's an incredible shot.

Kindest regards, Laura.

bellissima

Yes, the detail is truly incredible at that focal length Giangiorgio!! Your expertise with Focus Stacking as well, truly added to the final outcome. Your efforts were well worth it. Congrats on this one,

Kind regards, Gail
