Fairies
This is a Ladybug dat feeds on mildew.
They are active throughout the year.
I catched some today and took them into the "ministudio"
This is my setup (do'nt laugh): http://members.lycos.nl/eddysign2/Macro/opstelling.jpg
I used a flash with a softbox.
The ceiling and the side bounces off the light making the light very soft.
i used a printed photo for the background (the background in the pictures is no photoshop), i used several diverent pictures.
I am still experimenting for the perfect natural lightsetup, but this made me happy.

These photos are amazing! Beautiful. And the "Fairies" name is appropriate. The pastel colors are lovely.

These are very nice Edwin, especially the first and the last image. I took a look at your lightbox. Very cool! The same thing has been going around in my head here of late, after seeing the light box we use at the textile dyeing plant where I work. As Mike said, the pastel colours are beautiful and the title of your post quite fitting.
