Macro Ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata)

I was literaly less than 2cm's (2/3rds inch) away from this ladybird, I'm not sure of the aspect ratio although I do know that with the 25mm extension tubes and the 14-45mm lens I was using, it's at least 1:1 if not greater. However, as this was shot at 40mm and not 25mm, it is, as SnowMonco writes, somewhat lower! Here you can read the specifications about the 14-45mm lens and the 25mm extension tubes, www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/E-1_dslr_EX-25_Compatibilities....

Sorry I haven't been commenting on your images lately but I've been away and very busy (I'll try my best to catch up). I spent the most of last week in hospital for Sleep Apnea related tests and on friday I finally sold my Olympus E300 camera including all the equipment (two lenses, flashgun, extension tube, filters, camera bag etc.).

This is one of the last images I photographed with my Olympus and I'm now temporarily without a camera :~ { !
However I'm hoping to purchase a new Canon EOS 30D on the first weekend of June, together with the cheap but good Canon 18-55mm kit lens, the not so cheap but brilliantly sharp Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro USM lens and the lovely (I hope) Canon 100-400mm f4/5.6 L IS USM lens for birding. I can't wait !!!!

This Black-tailed Godwit came straight past me at such a low angle, I was so pleased when I saw the result.
