Wasp (i think) not great but my first attempt. Any tips for doing this type of photography are most welcome. As it was sunny this afternoon i decided to sit in the garden with my camera and try my hand at a few close up shots when i noticed these hovering (wasps ?)
After many, many attempts i gave up and this was my best result. I would love some advice on how/where im going wrong and how i could improve. Do i need a better lens, or macro filter, how do you guys catch these things with such sharpness. Im not after mirracles first time but would love to know how i could improve my chances with these types of photographs.
I have included all the shooting info so you can tell me how to improve
