Ladybug

[Iguanasan]

This ladybug landed on my shirt today so I managed to transfer him/her to a piece of wood and capture a couple of macro shots of him/her.

Approx 24mm, ISO 400, 1/60, f13

Reversed, handheld 18-55mm kit lens

Fantastic macro.Specially because you use reversed lens and shot handhold.Very hard to get so sharp image with so tiny DOF.

[Hillbillygirl]

Agree with Vyeko. Love that first one Iggy. Extraordinary results for the technique used.

I barely figured out how to mount my lenses the proper way, now you guys are doing this stuff ....

Excellent work, Iggy!

[Iguanasan]

Thanks, guys. It's something I picked up on this forum thanks to Jude. :)

That is way cool. I love the texture of his back/shell.

[Iguanasan]

Thank you, Runmonty.

[Iguanasan]

Thanks, Isa Luna.

Very impressive Iggy - I have played with this technique a few times but always on a tripod due to focusing challenges. So cool that u did this handheld.

[Iguanasan]

Thanks, Marko. Cheers! :)

Thanks, Michael. Reversed lens at 24mm gets in pretty close :)
