Default Ladybug macro
My first attempt at macro photography using my EF 50mm f/1.8 II and Kenko 12 and 36mm extension tubes. Kinda wishing I'd stopped it down to f/11 in order to have more of the ladybug in focus. Oh well, next time...

That is awesome! My 5 year old daughter came running to the screen asking if I took this picture, I WISH! Don't worry I didn't take credit. I have been on the hunt for one of these beauties for a while. I will just have to keep looking. Great clear capture!

I would have tried a head on shot but she fell off the fence shortly after this shot was taken. Thanks for the comments.
