H. Axyridis Spectabilis - Black and red Ladybird

Hi ! :)

 

Been a while since i went out and took my macro equipment with me for some close up photos, so with today off i decided to find something and spend as much time as possible getting the perfect picture to post on my flickr.

 

After buying the 50mm F1.8 prime lens for macro photography a while back, i decided it was best to sell it and instead buy cheaper, FD lens's to reverse mount on my Canon 550D EF camera, which works just as well if not better !

 

In hine sight i wasted a lot of money on the 50mm lens but managed to get some back by selling it on ebay and instead i bought a 28mm F2.8 FD lens for £15 and it has a manual aperture ring which is what i always wanted as i can now quickly change from f5 to f11 if light changes or the size of the subject were to change :D

 

Please leave a comment if you like the picture, may be a little too edited but i think people miss where the actual eyes are on a ladybird, you can clearly see in this photo where they are and why they look like every other beetle out there.
