Challenge: Late Night (Basic Editing III)
Collection: 2005
Camera: Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2
Location: Front yard - inside tulip leaves
Date: Apr 30, 2005
Aperture: F5.6
ISO: ISO 200
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Nature, Macro
Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2005

 Earlier in the day I was out experimenting for an idea for the Dreams challenge and noticed a pair of bugs in the leaves of the tulips. Took a couple of shots and played around some...this bug looked pretty cool.

Went back out around 11PM, took a flashlight to check, and they were all over the place doing the happy dance. Using the flashlight to allow the camera to focus in macro mode I took a handful of shots using the in-camera flash. Handheld at 1/80.

are those bugs doing what I think they are doing? Great shot. In Florida, we ususally see bugs up close only after they have sucked a pint of blood.
