Backlighting has always scared me a little. It seems so difficult to get the correct exposure on the other parts of the image. This morning my youngest found a ladybug on the sidewalk in front of our house and it seemed like a perfect opportunity for me to experiment a little.

The sun was already kind of high in the sky so I had to use a pretty wide angle in most shots to get any sun flare. I was also laying prostrate on the sidewalk, blocking the path for several students on their way to campus. I think it was worth it though. What do you think?
