A pink flower.

The dry flowers of a plant looked like faces.

In a short span of time, the honey bee had been coming back to the same spot several times to quench its thirst and may be to collect water for some o

Capturing how tiny creatures face death is very important. There wasn't spider anywhere around.

Light spilling in from underneath the door was used to capture this shot.

The lynx spider is an ambush predator and it was very well camouflaged on a flower.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in my home garden.

Time

At around 3PM when I went in search of macro subjects to photograph I found this unique looking creature.

Lighting

I just made use of an external flash to light the subjects.

Equipment

Canon EOS 80D along with Laowa 100mm f2.8 macro lens and a twin flash was used.

Inspiration

It was the first time I encountered the subject you see in the photo and later on with a bit of research I came to know that it was a ladybird larva.

Editing

I just did some sharpening, colour enhancement, noise reduction and finally cropped it.

In my camera bag

A Canon EOS 80D, Laowa 100mm f2.8 macro lens and a twin flash is all what i take to photograph.

Feedback

A small garden holds a lot of surprises for a macro photographer.
