My garden in Manchester, UK.

Gear

Nikon D7200 + Nikon 105mm Macro + Nikon SB 600 Speedlight + custom flash diffuser

Description

Rosemary beetles (Chrysolina americana) have become widespread in British gardens since the mid-1990s. They blend in reasonably well with the rosemary and lavender but get up close with a macro lens and a flash and they look pretty funky, to say the least. I hope these little beetles stick around my garden for a while! Single handheld shot. 1/200th of a second at f/18 with a flash diffuser.
