This photo was taken way before I had an DSLR, its actually shot with an Konica Minolta Z5.

However I have to say its still a nice shot. Also special about it is that I did not took silly picture of just a ladybug just walking normally, I wanted to have it wings spread and had a certain technique to make this shot. Involving a the room to be dark and a light source that attracted the ladybug and every time it wanted to fly it would spread it wings for a second before it flew, and just had to turn of the light before it would fly to keep the ladybug in place.<\/p>\n<p>I might want to print one of the other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chungdha.com\/2008\/10\/ladybug-photography.html\">lady bug picture<\/a> on canvas which I had blogged about it before. Which was lid very well however the focus was very shallow and focused only on the eyes of the ladybug while it spreads it wings. I am sure there are not allot of picture of a Ladybug spreading it wings and I am the only one with allot of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is actually from a ladybug photoset I shot in 2008 however I never saw this awesome shot cause it was totally under exposed, now few years further and experience in photography and editing I saw the picture in my collection and tried to edit the photo so you can see the great image.
