That's a great collection of ladybugs, lewynn! I really like the two with the reflections. (And was wondering how you set it up.) That's a very good job on the lighting and DOF with those. I like #11 too with the three ladybugs. Wonder what those two in the foreground are discussing.

Hey Nick,

The two with reflections were on different days with different ladybugs. My wife has a shelf under her tv that has some black glass on it. I thought it would be cool to take a picture of something and try to get a nice reflection. Those ladybugs don't sit still for very long and they tend to run away from the stuff I was using as a background. Lucky for me the one on the yellow flower walked over to and climbed over it so I was able to get several pictures with it on the flower. I used my 430 EXII as off camera flash.

Thanks for the explanation on that. Again, nice job--especially with a moving subject.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

You should be. 

Thank you very much for the comment!

You're welcome.

Nick
