Description
The hardest aspect of shooting mating ladybugs is not laughing when the male wiggles his backside -gonna have to work out the lighting so I can film it...Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I'm holding on to the leaf they are on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady. Then I went looking for an angle that would let me get as much in focus as possible -both of their leading eyes have to be in focus.

I remember me seeing this when I was a young kid and I had no idea what they we're doing...
I interruped them because I found green louse and wanted to give them that (they eat that)
But as POLITE as I was..
Me:''You guys wanna eat? I found food! : D''
Green louse on top:''- Shaking his head heavy and body lightly -''
Me:''You sure? D:''
Green louse on top:'' - Shaking his head heavy and body lightly again -''
Me:''All right then, you're missing out!''
