Ladybug

Ladybug, originally uploaded by lighthack.

I found this girl walking around the house last night and thought that she might make a cool subject for a hard-light, high-key shot.

D700 w/105mm macro lens
SB-600 camera right just a bit higher than bug, SB-600 camera left for a bit of fill about the same height. The bug was sitting on a white piece of paper. I did two exposures in Adobe Camera Raw, one to expose the bug right and one with the blacks increased to get the shadows dark, and then I combined them in Photoshop.
