InfoI am sorry about the low DOF, but by closing the diaphragm, I would have a too low speed and a picture not so good (I've tried ! :-)) No tripod used, camera handled. This is the picture out-of-the-camera, perhaps someone will want to process it... --J-Luc13:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
InfoThe focus is on the head of the wasp and about the noise... I would understand where you find that the noise is annoying. I agree about the composition, but the light was changing very quickly and I did not have too much time.J-Luc
If you want the details in the wasp, including the black "eyes", you over-expose the nest. The subject is lit by the sun in a very dark environment.--J-Luc
Then you have to shoot it at a different time of day, shade it, use reflectors, flash(es) or whatever...
