Behind The Lens

Location

At the leaf of the garden tree.

Time

Day time about 5:00pm to 7:00pm ( After raining time )

Lighting

Using external flash Canon 580 EXii wiih D.I.Y. diffuser

Equipment

Canon EOS60D, Tamron SP90mm , Raynox DCR250. Handhelded with manual focus.

Inspiration

.Accidently found this phenomenon, the wasp might suck the water from it's honeycomb when in wet condition and will blow it as water droplet form from it's mouth. This species of wasp is so friendly and will not sting me during my photography with them. Sometimes waited for 2 hours for wasps blowing water droplet but nothing happen. Furthermore, due to the wasps always moving and so difficult to get good position of the wasp and in focus pictures. Approximately 5% of the my photos shot is satisfactory and can be selected for sharing

Editing

Photo is editted on exposure, brightness, sharpness and contrast by photoshop. Some of the facebook members is suspected on the genuinely of my Wasp Blowing Water Droplet's photo, they complained that i shooting the dead body of the wasp and the water droplet is add on by photoshop.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS60D, Tamron SP90mm, Canon EFS18-55mm, Canon EFS 10-18mm, Canon EFS18-250mm, Canon EF50mm , Raynox DCR250, Raynox MSN202, Raynox DCR5320PRO, Canon 580EXii and Yongnuo YN560iii.

Feedback

There is a lot of species of wasp. The wasp which is met by me in this photo is friendly. Please beware if the wasp is unfriendly which might sting on you.
