1/125
F 5.6
ISO 1600
Spot Metering

"Basically, the weather kept going from sun to showers and I was a bit bored, every time the sun broke through I'd search for insects & creatures that would make a decent macro shot, I actually have a series of these with the ladybird in different positions.

Used a small reflector to add in natural fill light, ladybird was released after the shoot and since doing them they have been very popular"
