ladybird beetle face


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   ladybird beetle face
ladybird beetle face
Insect activity is on the rise for 2010, and I manage to capture this image of a live beetle today.
F32, 1/200s, ISO200, Ringflash, +4 diopter lens, plus a stack of extension tubes (12mm +20mm + 36mm Kenko) in between the camera and my 60mm Nikkor macro lens. This gives an approximate magnification of 3.5. I adjusted exposure, contrast, and reduced noise application. Taken in Raleigh, NC USA on March 13, 2010
