“Lady Bug Lust”
Sorry about the long absence but I’ve made some commitments to coaching again and have been very busy with that aspect of my life, I am going to try to squeeze some time in now and then to share my images with you until the season ends and I can get more time to shoot.
I have shot quite a few image during the late summer that I was happy with including this little image of a couple of ladybugs having a little afternoon delight.There are all kinda of places I could go with this or I could stoop to sophomoric humor and have a lot of fun, but thankfully I don’t have much time so I won’t go there…I will let the viewers handle that !!
Actually this image was a little hard to get because the lady ladybug wouldn’t hold still long enough and kept dragging the male around with her, always finding a place to hide to do their dirty work, must have been a privacy issue. After about 50 exposures my foray into bug pornography paid off and I nailed the shot, I still was a little disappointed with the lack of sharpness in her head but I had to give something to get the shot so that was the payoff.
Maybe I should have consulted with Hefner or Flynt on this, since they were a little more experienced with this aspect of photography but for my first foray into bug porn it still worked out pretty nice. I hope you enjoyed the image and thanks again for stopping by and taking a look !!

About
Hello my name is Bernie Kasper and I am a photographer from Madison, a small town located in the Southeastern part of Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River, the area I call home has a rich diversity of topography and wildlife that make it a special place. From the canyons and waterfalls of Clifty Park to the wetlands of the Muscatatuck NWR the area is rich in photographic opportunities, hopefully I will be able to convey the beauty of the area and share any info as well about this place I call home

Good one!! It’s all nature. I’ve got some shots not yet posted of the mating of damselflies. YOu’ve inspired me to post one.
You can’t go wrong with bug love !!
Bwah ha! Thanks for today’s chuckle. Great picture. There’s definitely a future for you in insect porn.
At least I wasn’t hanging over them telling them to make love to the camera !!!

Needed one of those rim light setups for better DoF.
That would have really helped in that situation Scott, I may have to look into one of those.
Always a bonus when you can catch them in the act. The whole set up looks great… the leaf, the background. As you pointed out a little more dof to bring the head into sharper focus would have been great. Still very nice work, Bernie.
Thanks Ed !!
