This post is about a Lady Bug Macro shot I took today.

Lady Bug Macro

I had some fun today doing macro shots. It was a little tough as it was overcast (not much light) and there was a breeze. Its amazing how much stuff moves around with even the faintest of winds. So I took this with a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon 10omm f2.8 IS USM. I used f16 at 1/40 shutter and ISO 1250. I love the low light high ISO performance of this camera. This is crop of the original. Its probably about 40% of the original.

I probably waited around for 10 minutes for it to be calm enough to take the shot. The next time I do this I will have some alligator clips or something to hold the flowers steady.

One funny thing……. I would get this shot all set up with the bug facing me…. and just before I would take the shot he/she would turn around and put his back to me. So I would re-set up on the other side…..and he/she would do it again. This went on for 4 set-ups. It was like she did not want me to take the shot???? Anyhow she finally settled down and let me do it.
