My eye sight must be getting bad, what happened to my Jumping spider, I see some guy stringing a tennis racquet. Not even one of my photo's?

Really strange, I use Tiny pics and I just edited my post and put the spider image back but it still came up as the Wilson racquet centre but if you guys still see my spider that's ok I guess.
Must be a Tiny pic glitch -

This is not as good as Ziggy or any of you here in the bug-o-graphy forum, but I tried my best, Grahame...Geoff and David and Mark...
It is not a bug according to Wikipedia but a butterfly is an insect but I have seen some submitted some butterfly and David, my bugman friend, this is real serious image I found in my garage door going to the backyard... and it is not a BUTT--er-fly...I do not know what it is...if it even have an ID...

Very nice Izzie, great sharp detail on the eye

Certainly not unusual but perhaps interesting? The advice was given here that F/14 was a good goto for macro. This was shot at F/14 and it turned out rather nice for DOF

9th July 2015, 04:34 AMJBWRe: Any bug photos during July 2015That will be quite a while. First i get the best I can out of the lens that came with the camera.Quote:

9th July 2015, 05:33 AMJBWRe: Any bug photos during July 2015I must admit that i have thoughts of a dedicated macro lens but there is also the satisfaction of getting the most out of what you have. And I don't believe i have even scratched the surface yet of this cameras capabilities.Quote:

This can occasionally go really wrong, where an image you've sent that was fine for one context is replaced after a while with uh, not safe for work / not safe for life content.Quote:

Not that there's anything wrong with that, just, the surprise element of it is perhaps a dealbreaker.Quote:
