Spider

[deetheturk]

These are two images of the same Spider taken last night, she, I think, was rather large while lying on the ground beneath her, getting eaten with Mosquitoes, she disappeared from my viewfinder I have never moved so fast in all my life anyway, C&C Welcome as always

Cheers David...

David, very nice, can understand the strategic retreat

[Downrigger]

Great shots, David, but good grief! "...lying on the ground beneath her"? I immediately checked the EXIF for lens length, and 100mm Macro would never be enough for me for such a maneuver. But bravery well rewarded, in any case.

[Shadowman]

Nice captures.

[bnnrcn]

WOW! They both look great David

[deetheturk]

Cheers Mark

[deetheturk]

Thank's Mark, I have been switching between my 5d and 7d lately, the 7d would have kept me a tad further away but not a great deal, I was experimenting with an extension tube on as well which got me even closer

Cheers John

Thank you Binnur

[flashback]

It's spring time and David is once again down in the dirt. Both great shots, detail is amazing. While I believe in a firm understanding of place, between myself and spiders, they are just one of the most amazing critters. When we gonna see some more jumpers?

[ST1]

Good captures David, well done

[JohnRostron]

By 'underneath her' I taken it that you were at ground level, looking up at her. I am impressed which the DoF. How were these shots lit? Anyway, these ahre amazing shots.

The first one is laughing at you, David...the second one with the position of the front paw says "Come 'ere, you funk!"

(OK...I am jealous of your shots, but don't tell anyone....)

[Otavio]

Great job, David. The details are impressive. Cheers,

[deetheturk]

Ha ha Jack, yes spring is here but I am going to miss about 6 weeks of it due to family visiting, then I'm having to go visit more family in Scotland but that's just for a week then back to my bugs

I have some Jumper images to post, so will try and do that when I get a minute

[deetheturk]

Thank you Peter

[deetheturk]

Hi John, yes lying in the long grass beneath a bush I use a Canon 580ex 11 which is diffused, thank's for commenting mate

[deetheturk]

Thank you Izzie, you have me giggling here just you wait till that Macro lens arrives!

[deetheturk]

Cheers Otavio, much appreciated mate

[Barbara Ponder]
