Description

Macro photography picture of a paper wasp going after its business on a yellow flower at Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Worcester, MA. Photograph was taken on an early morning in August 2013.

Taking home field advantage and exploring a local wildlife sanctuary can be very rewarding and beneficial for our photography. Usually one can find birds and other wildlife that are willing photographic objects, beautiful flowers, or insects of all sorts. My favorite macro photography location for insects and butterflies in the wild is the Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center and Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary is located near Worcester, MA and is a short 55 minutes drive west of Boston. That morning I arrived quite early and not much was going on. I was evaluating my options to explore the trails, the beaver pond or stay put at the butterfly garden in front of the main building and entrance. I am glad I stayed put as usual! I equipped my camera with a macro lens and got cracking on my quest for capturing exceptional Flower Photographs and Insect Macro Photography images. There were mostly bees and wasps going about their business and a couple of butterflies stopped briefly to tease me; in fact not staying long enough to capture any photo of them; very frustrating at times. I finally came across this beautiful colored wasp which was going about its business while I tracked down the reoccurring path it seemed to take over and over again. I pre focused on an area where the wasp sooner or later would arrive and when it came closer I exposed multiple pictures.
