Well that's the way I've been thinking of my attempts at ladybugs. Too these two frames this morning. The ladybug was buried in a little leafy nook so I took my woodclamp and fastened it to the shoot and after snipping it and trimming some foliage, placed it on a bridge handrail where I could get some open shots.
Thanks fellas. Shot these with the big Lumiquest on my SB-800. It does a nice job, it's just so stinking big that it feels like there's a house out near the front of the lens.
