An ultra-close macro shot of a wasp’s stinger, taken with the Sony A7R IV and its 61MP sensor, paired with the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens for precision detail. The focus is on the sharp, needle-like stinger, which is magnified to show every tiny ridge and venom sac with incredible sharpness. The aperture is set at f/2.8, isolating the stinger while the wasp's body and the background dissolve into soft bokeh. The lighting comes from two Profoto B10 Plus flashes, positioned to the side and slightly behind, creating dramatic highlights along the stinger’s edges while keeping the rest of the image softly lit. The background is a blurred mix of green and brown, resembling a natural outdoor setting. Post-processing includes sharpening and frequency separation to bring out every texture on the stinger, while a color grading effect enhances the wasp’s natural yellow and black coloration. A slight vignette helps keep the focus on the stinger, resulting in a striking, professional macro photograph
