I took advantage of the numerous Green Shield bugs in the garden to try and perfect my macro technique. The Green Shield Bug was once restricted to southern England but with warmer conditions, they are now common and widespread across much of England and Wales, and spreading ever northwards. The adults overwinter and emerge in spring, laying their eggs on the undersides of leaves. Using a Metz ringflash, fuji XT1 and Zeiss 50mm macro. The optimum aperture seemed to be F16 to get all the insect in focus but still with a diffuse background. At F11 (last image) theDOF didn't quite extend to back of insect.
