RE: Shield Bug And Ladybird - Original Macro Photography
The first shot is my favorite of the bunch. Lovely!
What lens are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

Sigma lenses are so great! I have a 35mm one for my Nikon D750. But I use the Nikkor 105mm for macros...
Yeah, the other important thing here is the lighting. I use an on-camera speedlight with a lastolite diffuser on it. That's what gives the almost portraiture feeling to my images. I also use Magic Lantern firmware for the canon which has a focus trap feature (fires the shutter as soon as something is in focus). Dont think there is anything similar for Nikon.
Thank you! Yes, I haven't heard of anything similar for Nikon. But I'm a natural light photographer, so I try to avoir artificial light as much as possible...
