Busy playing with my latest “toy” these days – a Canon EOS 5D Mark II – and am utterly fascinated by its video capabilities. Me being me, I’ve spent a lot of time trawling around the net looking for examples, tips and tutorials.

When I find a combination of video and macro photography (my latest photographic obsession ), I’m in seventh heaven. Today I found the absolute gem below. A fascinating event – the annual ladybug (ladybird for us Brits) swarm near Boulder, Colorado. The inclusion of a delightful toddler and the look of sheer magic on their face is simply wonderful.

I defy you to watch it and not smile yourself
