Sunflower visitor

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted August 17, 2012113 views8 comments
Recently I had a chance to take photos in a sunflower field. I have been posting some of these pictures in the flora gallery. I spied this little bug on a sunflower so I took his picture too. :smile: This is sort of a flora/macro combo.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/4 for 1/1600 sec. ISO 400. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.

Good details in the bug (looks like it might be a lightning bug of some sort) and nicely composed with the curled leaf and the golden glow in the background.

Beautiful bg. Your little bug is perfect against it. Love his coloring and the dof is just right to showcase him.
