Tenía una D3300 y la cambié por una D7500 porque quería hacer fotos como esta. Ahora sé perfectamente dónde estaba el problema 😏. Preciosa foto

Location
this photo was taken outside my home in Botevo Bulgaria. I waited for several hours to get the shotTime
it was taken late in the day I had seen the wasps emerging from the nest site that was in a metal fencepostLighting
the light was natural sunlight from a low sun well before sunsetEquipment
the camera was a Nikon d3300 with a Sigma 70/300 macro zoom on a Benro tripodInspiration
I LOVE THE INTENSE COLOURING OF THE WASP AND WAS INSPIRED TO GET A REALLY GOOD CLOSE UP OF SUCH A DISTINCT CREATUREEditing
I ONLY USED A SIMPLE CROPIn my camera bag
I carry a Nikon D3300 aSIGMA 70/300 MACRO ZOOM , A Nikon 50mm 1.8 and a Nikon 18/55 kit lensFeedback
Patience is the main thing I took two hours to get the shot I needed, I have taken much longer to get the sky looking right in landscapes and a keen eye to spot small insects and good light
