A busy day

A busy day. I shot these bees and wasps on Eucalyptus flowers at a distance of 7 meters with the super telephoto Sigma 300-800mm which has a minimum focusing distance of 6 meters. The photo was taken with the focus staking method by combining 6 photographs. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f7.1, 1/1600 sec, ISO 200. Thanks for your comments

Good device and marvelous result, Giangiorgio! I have not seen eucalyptus flowers plus so many winged workers in focus at the same time ! Amazingly done! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana, thank you for your appreciation and great commentary of my photo, glad you liked it, ciao Giangiorgio

Great photo, technically and aesthetically, wonderful colors too, Giangiorgio! Complimenti, maestro! PDE

Grazie mille , Pierre for your generous comment greatly appreciated, ciao Giangiorgio

Great shot! One of my challenges with long lenses, getting the depth of field right!

Indeed lot of bees there and wasps too,seems that last nectar days most be completely appreciate by this insects. Is good to have them but in my area last years seems to have less than usual and this is not at all a good fact.

Radu , Grazie mille for your appreciation of my photo, not only in your region but in many others, there is a reduction in bees, perhaps due to the indiscriminate use of pesticides, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks a lot Kamala for your visit and for your beautiful comment, even for me this definition was surprising at that distance, ciao Giangiorgio
