p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Shield Bug Set


I bought some firewood today and I found about a dozen of these shield bugs while I was stacking the wood.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F14, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (>1x and 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Not the best framing on the first one -was trying the find the right balance between getting as much of the subject in the frame and at the same time eliminate some of the foreground with a subject that was moving.



So I took the magnification up and went for a portrait.

No expert I, but to my eye the framing on the first pic is just fine. The antenna is cropped to the right, and also the very bottom of the legs, but so what? The ends would be out of focus anyway. You nailed the eyes, which is the main thing. Beautiful light.
