Welcome to the leisure hive

[firstlight (Tony)]

I spied this nest in amongst the iris's the other day. I have some macro lenses that screw on to the lens, from memory this was taken with the 1+ and the 4+. Not sure what that means but happy with the result.

Canon 400D, 55mm, f6.5, 1+ and 4+ macro, iso 400, 1/80 sec.

not bad at all nice and sharp, no CA that i can see.

is this a full frame shot? or have you cropped the image?

what brand of magnifying filters are they?

[Dennis]

Nice work Tony. Those relatively low cost filters are quite effective when compared to an expensive true macro lens.

Cheers

It looks like a bullet belt loaded with 303 ammo, nice shooting

Thanks Joshman and all,

They are Hoya lenses that fit on the filter thread. No I haven't cropped it, thats it in all its glory

Very interesting how they go about building the nests.

pretty interesting constructs hey

[joshman (Josh)]

here's a macro i did of the wasp that build's those hives. please note the this is full frame too

top shot josh, got some details for the picture?

[joshman (Josh)]

hmmm, from memory, that was taken with the nifty-fifty reversed ontop of my 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f32, 1/30s, tripod mounted...naturally

(just checked the exif on the original, those details are correct)

it was a difficult shot to get, cause the wasp kept hiding around the other side of the nest from the camera.

Great shot Josh
