Are the wasps glued to the table?

Not bad but rather a lot of hot spots on the wasps.

Not a table, but the deck railing. I had put some sugar water there, then it rained for two days. When the rain stoped, these guys were evrywhere, landing all over me when I was shooting. I had my lite set wrong, but wonder about wet insects reflecting lite differently. The 2 times I shot wet critters, the lite was harsh. Could it be reflecting off the water on the subject??

Think yellow jacket is the US name - we just call them wasps in the uk and they are certainly a member of the wasp family.

Yea, I missed the right eye, but I had to bend all the way to the ground as he was setting in the mulch. Getting to old for that.

good shots, water does reflect the flash to a degree, but not that much!
dont know why the wood is exposed very good, would have expected it to be much brighter with too harsh light

I also found that I had the exposure set to -0.3? That would not effect flash would it?
