Description

I recently found a wasp nest inside a window protection bar in my house. Normally I would have them removed but... I love to take photos of small creatures I and I think this is going to be a good chance to learn a bit more about them just by watching (hope I don't get stung).
Anyway, this little fellow was really amused with a piece of spider web, he seam like a little kid playing with a toy! So I decided the fit my 14-45mm lens with my closed up filters and took some photos of it!
I must say he didn't liked it too much at the beginning, he even invested against the lens, but after a while he calmed down and returned to play with the web, that's when I took this one!
Leave line telling me what you think!

@Martins
My focus field with these filters is very limited even when I play with the f value. Macro lens are in the way... almost... haven't decided yet! Sigma macro 105mm or 150mm. It has to be compatible with the 4/3 mount system!

Nice macro.

Looks a bit tight in the frame and also placement near border.

You need to invest in more expensive macro lenses if you like it so much.
Will do your efforts so much more worth the time spent... ;)

Yes, a better Macro lens would make this even finer. With what you have this is excellent work.
