Ladybird Closeup
The warm weather we've had in the UK recently has meant that some insects that would normally be dormant at this time of year have become active. I was out in the garden and spotted a group of Seven Spot Ladybirds (coccinella septembpunctata), which are native to this part of the world.
I borrowed one of the group for a quick photoshoot, using a flowering orchid as a prop. I used my Nikon 60mm f2.8 Micro, which is one of the sharpest lenses on the market, and a ring flash to provide the light.
I spent about 15 to 20 minutes taking photographs before returning the Ladybird to where I found it in the garden.
