Here are the three that turned out today. I put them in order from least favorite to favorite. But I liked all of these. There were several that were over exposed, but I noticed that and made a bunch of adjustments. First I adjusted the exposure setting up by one point and that raised the shutter speed to the max. Then I lowered the ISO to 100 and that helped a lot.
What I like about the last one is that I managed to make the foreground, the leaf, blurry as well.

They’re great, I love them. Spent an hour yesterday evening photographing some wasps building a nest. I used the 500mm lens on a tripod, better safe than sorry. 🙂
