Exotic African Wasp
Jan 27, 2013 09:43:18 #
Finally made it down to Namibia, Africa am am enjoying the wonderful sites. Took this photo of a Mud Daubber Wasp (Delta lepeleterii). This is a full frame not cropped and I'm sort of testing the system out because the internet is awfully slow down here (I am out in the middle of nowhere land). If it works, I will post some more and they will be cropped accordingly. I tried posting but it failed, so I have resampled it to a much smaller format, sorry. I will re-post when I return home in four weeks, this is just a small sample of the insect life here.

Brilliant colors. Nice capture.
Mind your narrow DoF. Remember to keep insect body & wings tangent to lens.

Yes, I might entice everyone with a little something now and then, but most will wait until I can upload the full photos and not the ones that have been resampled with the dpi reduction.I look forward to seeing more of the stuff you shot there when you return home
