this is another work that I feel good. I remember I take this photo without a flash Because it has no power... So I use high speed ISO. Ladybugs seem never stop moving so this is one of few photos that I catch ladybugs. When I found this Ladybug, he just catch an aphid. I took a lot of photos when he lunched. but only this photo is success.
D60 + EF 100/2.8USM ISO 400 f5.6 1/125s(not very sure)
When I photo an insect, a work like a portrait does not use a flash. Since he wants to take an ecology photograph sharply to a fine portion, it uses a flash in many cases. It restricts photoing the figure of an insect conscientiously to ecology photography, and the figure of an insect and surrounding environment are taken in and it is made to think atmosphere as important usually. This photograph can be taken very well. However, in order to express a gentler atmosphere to, I think that an iris diaphragm may be opened and depth may be made shallow. Although it seems to be the fundamental way of photographing depending on which it comes out of the whole screen except Japan to take a photograph sharply, it also makes it hit to think as important and photo its image, and I am, and think that it is an insect photograph.
The eye of a fly was able to be photoed very finely using the flash. In this case, it is expression which cannot take a picture of a flash if there is nothing. Although it will be disliked if it is called a fly, I think that the forcibleness as a living thing can be expressed. It is a wonderful work.
A photograph can be taken with a very good light. Since unnaturalness is not felt even if it has processed the picture, it is a highly complete work. There is no futility also in composition and the expression of a frog also has an intelligible good place.
Hi マリオsir I don't live in Japan... Japan is a very good place, I have been there four years age for a trip. I live in Taipei of Taiwan. Here is a good place, too. Hope U can come here for a trip.(But nobody come here after the SARS epidemic) nice to meet U~~
Hi! Keven, Thanks for your prompt reply. I visited twice in Taipei and had good friendly memories. Of course I would like to vist again after end of SARS problem. (^^;
Sorry for I don't understand Japanese and can't type Japanese. I'm a macro hobbyist from Taiwan. I like 小林sir's creations very much. And hope 小林sir can give me some suggestion.
I feel interesting to this photograph. Ladybug's arms are very cute. Many people will look a ladybug straight in the face. But you look a ladybug your original feeling. You have a good glance.
I think this composition is toolarge space to around a bettland I want be more bright.
Thank you, 小林 sir. thanks for your exposition. I have a question about how to make it more bright. if I use flash, I'll lose the light through leaf & vein how to make it more bright?? The only way I can think is using Photoshop to make it more bright... Can U give me some tips about this?
PS: my English is very poor, too. but I think type English is much better than Chinese.

hello, KEVEN ! my name is mikiyanon @pen name. i like this photo. she is very cute. i think so realy. mr.KOBAYASHI is our teacher.(?) (小林=KOBAYASHI) do you understand? bye_bye ! m(o0)q
A flash is not used but a photograph is brightly taken using exposure compensation. In the case of my photograph, a flash is seldom used. Exposure is controlled and photoed rather than it with a natural light. Also in a backlight, exposure is made bright and it is made to express atmosphere taking advantage of a light on that occasion.
thank mr.KOBAYASHI. think your guidance again. forgive me for I can't catch your meaning clearly. I use a flash in my 90% works. Do U suggest me "use a flash as less as possible"?? sorry for my fool...
to mikiyanon I think this place like mr.KOBAYASHI's online teaching. And this is way I'm here. I hope I can learn natural photography form here. Hope everybody here can give me his(her) opinions for my work. nice to meet U~~
