Description
ladybug eggs.The more time I spend outside with the macro lens, the more I realise just how much we miss. Forget rush hour traffic, there's a whole other world operating beneath our feet.

I can honestly say I've never seen ladybug eggs before. Very cool. This must be really tiny considering how tiny ladybugs are.

Thanks.
Things look so different when viewed closer than our eyes will let us. There's a whole other universe down there.

Sometimes the world can be extremely beautiful, if you take the time to look.

Superb details and DoF. And you're totally right about the new world. That's why I'm loving macro photography so much. Makes you forget about everything else

I have never seen such a thing. Do they taste nice?
Seriously. The image is so sharp and the contrasting colours just make this look magnificent

Y'know... I didn't think to taste them.

Every little thing seems to be missed. I'm thankful for these glimpses into smaller life.

Amazing capture! I have never seen anything like that, which shows how much I'm missing.

wow, that's awesome. never seen eggs like that. I wonder why nature didn't make them green to hide them better.

The prettiest aspect is how the leaf seems to be cradling the eggs, like a gentle hand. Offering it up to the sunlight.

Do they call them 'Ladybugs' in Australia too? D:

people always laugh at me when I tell them that there is a beautiful world out there, and that we actually do not have to search far for it.
apart from the message you gave with it, I must admit that I have always loved ladybugs, ever since I was a toddler I would spend hours searching for them =] despite my obsession with the insects, I have actually never seen eggs
I love the colours and focus, nice macro photography ^^

You know, I love that you are finally posting some new art and you certainly have an eye for design and suchlike. I would love to see you try more angles, more crop options etc, but otherwise this is a wonderful image- the bright green is a great contrast for the orange colours.
Thank you for sharing

Since your comment on my ladybug photo I've been experimenting a lot more with cropping, 1,200 OR YOU was a 1:1 crop for instance, and there are more to come.
I tend to try compose them in-camera, so the thought of cropping comes with some resistance. In this case specifically I don't want to lose the white-space as it emphasises the smallness of the eggs.
Thank you for continuing to share you honest thoughts, I really appreciate it

oh, yeah - I don't have some obsession with staying pure to the original photo

Aw they're so cuteee! I love the colors, but my favorite part is the top edge of that leaf.

S'what I love about macro photography, it's like a whole new level of detail down there. Like... I dunno, a progressive jpeg, or the way a fractal reveals more complexity as you dive in.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly! And I love the way that macro photography makes you look at the world once you get interested in it. The most seemingly bland and unimportant things in the world turn into favorite subjects.

Yes! I've barely taken a photo with the kit lens, they all turn out boring

I've noticed even my 10/11 year old sister is getting into macro photography now. 
I keep forgetting to put the settings back to 'auto' on my dads camera though, and he keeps taking pictures of things that are totally out of focus because of it. Bad Rahxy. :<

Right, that's something else I've been thinking - kids already see the macro world, they live in it, what with their faces down there all the time. They'd have an eye for this sort of thing naturally, so it's awesome to hear your sister is already getting into it
...and I'd do the same thing with the family cameras. I became this sort of tainted soul, "aarh, Nick was using the camera agaaaain! How do I change it back!?"

I always thought it'd be interesting to give a kid a camera and see what they'd take pictures of. Of course an adult would be there to help them and make sure they don't destroy it, butyeah that'd be a need project to do.

I have seen a few projects like this, usually cheap disposable cameras are given to children who wouldn't otherwise have access to a camera - like in third-world countries and poverty stricken societies. I came across one a year or three ago, but I can't seem to track that specific one. I did find kids with cameras after a quick search though (pick a city from the menu on the left to browse their photos.)
There's some pretty poignant stuff in there, these kids are like... pure unbiased journalists, documenting their lives and showing us their perspective.

I spent like an hour looking at that site with my sister.
I was particularly interested in the Jerusalem part. My fiance lives in Israel so I've recently become very interested in the country and cultures.

Are they spider eggs?
Look like little tiny bollons heheh

I just did some research, and based on the fact there were lots of ladybugs nearby, I'm pretty sure now that they're ladybug eggs.
Just wait till I get some decent shots of their larva, they're scary looking things!
