We saw a ladybird on the lettuce that we bought last night, it was there standing still and not moving, but we know that it is still alive.  We were rushing to make our sandwich burger as our dinner with this lettuce, so I only had limited time to take the photo.  Again, without tripod, therefore these pictures are not 100% sharp, the shutter speed was 1/13 second with my hand on the table as a support and I quickly took few snaps of this lady bird.  Then we put it beside the window and let it fly away.

[This is a cropped image.]

I did not notice that the ladybird looked dark until I loaded the photo in my computer.  I should have increased the exposure by +0.3 or +0.7.  I have forgotten the rules that if we take photo with white background, we need to increase the exposure so that the object is not dark.  This is applicable for average metering.  It would be no problem if you use center metering.  I wonder why me camera center metering is not working even I had switched to macro mode.  Next time I will remember it.

The black dot on the lettuce was the ladybird.

We can’t wait to eat this lettuce last night because it was already 10pm and we haven’t taken our dinner.  SiewPeng has made  3 layers sandwiches with this lettuce in each of the layers.  When I think of writting this post I just noticed that I did not take the photo of our “sandwich burger”.

This is the outer leaves of the lettuce, and now it is still in our stamach. :p
