One of the very few pictures where I got dof and focus exactly the way I wanted them.
Thanks for the comment!

macro photos are really difficult to focus them as you want... but you allways do it
you're welcome!

Yes, nature can be very helpful by offering such a perfect colour combination. And what's more, I only had to go to our backyard.

I experimented a bit here. First I went for my usual small aperture, but then I tried wider ones too, to get a narrower dof. I'm glad you like it!

Yes, I used the Sigma 105mm macro lens.
Getting aperture right can be quite tricky with macro. From a more scientific point of view, I want the dof to be as wide as possible so that the whole insect is sharp. Which means I have to use a small aperture and often flash, because natural light won't be sufficient. From a more artistic point of view, flashlight doesn't look nice at all, so I have to use a wider aperture, which means I can get fewer parts sharp...
It's a permanent tightrope walk.

I have to admit that ladybugs do get on my nerves sometimes. Everyone seems to be submitting pics of them (the insect section was full of them, in particular a few weeks ago...and most pictures of terrible quality). This one isn't the ordinary type of ladybug, though. I haven't identified it yet, but the red is a bit different, as well as shape and spot pattern.

Thanks for commenting!

An und für sich wärs ohne weiteres möglich, den Fokus weiter hinten zu haben (du meinst "hinten" eh im Sinne von in der Bildebene weiter hinten, nicht näher am Käferarsch, oder? ), ich hätt einfach nur das Objektiv ein ganz kleines bissl nach hinten verschieben müssen. Ich glaub ich hab solche Bilder sogar (ich weiß vorher nie genau, wo's ganz scharf sein wird, weil ich nach dem Fokussieren immer noch ein bissl wackel), aber mir gefällts einfach besser, wenn der schärfste Bereich am weitesten vorne und nicht irgendwo in der Mitte das Käfers liegt.

Danke für den konstruktiven Kommentar!

Für die Farben hab ich dem Käfer zu danken, der sich sehr fotogen auf der Petersilie platziert hat. Und vielleicht dem Salat im Hintergrund

Lol, you're right, it didn't move all that much. Doesn't help much when the wind is moving the leaf it is sitting on in and out of focus all the time.

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked the selective focus. I spent quite some time trying to get it right, and I had some nasty wind against me...
