Wasp. (Vespula vulgaris)

Incredible focusing and detail, Cornelis.

Super shot. How did you manage that clarity with a shutter speed of 1/400?

Thanks for your comment, Colin, and a good question!
Just a lucky shot, in a split of a second before I pushed the button the wasp took off.
And the moment I pushed the button the motion of the wasp with respect to the camera must have been about zero, otherwise some blurring should be visible. No focus tracking or panning applied.
Before this shot I took some more, always the wasp on a rooftile or on the wall, but this result is something you really want! And I´am very happy with this unexpected result!

i think that is what is called outstanding cornelis....truly wonderful...well done and many thanks...

A stunning detailed and colourfully focused capture, Cornelis. Brilliant, well done.

That's being in the right place at the right time.... and ready!!!

What a fantastic capture Kees!!! Many thanks for showing us this wasp.
