Gazing into each other's eyes

Description

This photo marks the start of an era. A new diffuser was created in the wake of the previous one that got rained on.

This photo also marks a slight change in technique. A friend suggested that I start using the viewfinder in order to focus and also work on adjusting the brightness. Using the viewfinder made me feel more connected to the wasp, as if we were gazing directly into each other's eyes instead of my usual watching a wasp on a screen. I also took the flash off of TTL and set it manually. Setting the flash is the only real control I have over the exposure because I need the exposure time to be the longest possible, I need the aperture to be the narrowest possible, and I need the ISO to be as low as possible.

I came across this same species of wasp a couple of weeks ago in Flower Hugger, so one can see the effect of the changes that were implemented.
