Shooting Inverted - _TNY_4908
Sometimes you get the focus where you want it - like on this female lesser hornet hoverfly (Volucella inanis), also known as the wasp plumehorn, which I found on the veranda of my mom's summer house in Värmdö, Sweden.
This image is actually upside down. Mrs. hoverfly here had decided to land on the white ceiling of the veranda so I obviously did what any normal macrographer would do and got myself a chair to stand on. Then I turned the camera upside down as the diffuser couldn't fit between the subject and the ceiling.
Canon probably didn't give much consideration to inverted handling of the camera when designing the ergonomics of the 5Ds, but at least it sort of worked when I operated the shutter button with my left pinky finger and with the viewfinder at the bottom instead of the top.
My very yellow model here at least was very compliant and helpful, staying still and showing me her best side.
This species parasitizes on wasps and hornets. The female waits until the coast is clear and then lay her eggs close to the wasp nest and the larvae then crawls into the nest and somehow is ignored by the wasps and feed on wasp larvae.
