A bug’s POV, by Ruben Alexander

This was photographed at the Republic Day Flower show at Lalbagh Botanical gardens in Bangalore. There is a small world out there which is still unexplored by many. Seeing the “small and tiny things” from a bug’s point of view, always fascinate me. This shot was taken with the 50mm Prime in reverse mount with the aperture locked at f/8.0. I find taking photos with the lens in reverse very challenging but ultimately satisfying.
