Beauty Portrait of a Beetle

"Beauty Portrait of a Beetle"
So, I found this little guy in the yard today......post mortem. I postponed my other two concepts for the day, and set up for this beauty portrait. After inserting the required....chair, we were on our way. Our key light is a ringflash, and it provides the specular highlights in the exoskeleton, and fills in all the shadows. I then brought in a gridded beauty dish directly above, and it works to give us some separation from the black background. Who knew a figeater beetle had so many parts?!!! Thanks for stopping in.
