No time for excuses

 
Well the only bad thing about spending my time efficiently and getting stuff sorted is that I don't have much (any) to waste on photography.  It's a sad, sad state of affairs.  For the first time in probably all my DSLR years I have gone a whole month without taking a photo!  I am ashamed.
 
Still, the garden is nearly done and will no doubt provide quite a few more photos than before and the wedding photo processing from our wedding in May (!!) is finally done.  At some point I should get some new shots up and .. after 4 months of neglect, I can start processing my Thailand photos!!
 
Starting to plan the next big trip too, so no time to loose.
 
In the mean time, this wasp was irresistible this morning, sat on the window glass.  A heap of exposure compensation brought him/her to life and blew out the background and dirt on the window (more shame!).
 



Window wasp or miniaturised surveillance drone?
ISO5000, 105mm, f/16, 1/100s, +1.7ev, noise reduction

High ISO since I didn't have time for tripod-age (flash would have bounced off glass),
macro lens - of course, f/16 to get all the depth of field at such a close distance,
and a whole dump load of exposure compensation - dark subject on a light background - just manually judged from experience rather than using spot metering etc.
