While I was out this morning I saw a dragonfly sitting on a blueberry leaf and decided it would make a great shot for the day. It was still there after I returned with my camera and even remained while the lens warmed up to the outside temperature and the humidity dissipated off of it. Of course the minute I tried to focus it flew off! Now what? Sometimes they will return to the same spot, but not this time. Therefore you get a wasp which was on a pallet and a little more cooperative for a photo.
I like the red color of the wasp. I'm going to have to remember to give my lenses time to warm up. In the winter they say to back out of the warm place. I wonder if that helps in the summer?
I read the first part thinking that not a dragonfly. Sensible thing to read the whole narrative. I hope that the wasp wasn’t too upset that it was second choice.
@jacqbb I was grateful to have ANYTHING @olivetreeann something to seem to do a lot of @randystreat I am not sure Ai can back out as slow as I would need to. It usually takes several minutes for the lens to warm up enough to not condense the humidity for me. Thank you Kathy @shutterbug49 Than you Debbie i kind of like his sharp coloring too @milaniet thanks Milanie I have a good zooom lens @madamelucy fortuantely my zoom lens allows me to be a distance away that is not threatening. I would be careful too if I had been stung @marilyn thank you ! He does stand out nicely against the grayish wood @ludwigsdiana LOL! Thank you Diana I like happy endings @wakelys You are so smart! I doubt the wasp knew....or cared! @montserrat Je suis tellement content que tu le penses. merci @casablanca I though so too carol. It might be a paper wasp @lesip I am happy to hear you think so Leslie thanks bunches
