Complimentary Colours - _TNY_1491

One of the large number of common wasps (Vespula vulgaris) which were climbing all over the infloresences of the purple angelicas (Angelica gigas).

 

They were not a 100% cool with me sticking a big camera lens in their face - but definitely more relaxed than on many other flowers.

 

Shot using the Canon MP-E65mm set to 2.2:1 magnification.

 

Since the MP-E65 stores the level of magnification used for the shot in the image's EXIF data it is possible to extract (though only from the RAW image - it is stripped when saving the JPEG in Photoshop). Using the program EXIFTool I can extract this quite handily (it's not showing up automatically in Adobe Bridge) - sen me a meaasage if you want me to share how do this for your MP-E65 shots.
