This Cicada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada) certainly is something
I just caught her/he/it in our balcony in Houston
Maple seed pretty and read. As soon as they dry they will float to the ground like litttle helicopters.
Day 273
For something a little different, here is the Wolf Spider that terrorized the office today. They are relatively harmless, but their size freaks people out.
Taken with a 55mm Nikon Micro lens. Vivitar 285 HV flash triggered via PC cord and shot into a reflector held above the bubble. A much larger diffusion screen would be preferable. Or a translucent reflector with the flash shooting through that. Maybe another time!
This was an attempt to recreate photos found here: www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog/planet-tozer/
today i received two packages: a st. francis of asissi statue from my grandfather for my garden, and my new vivitar closeup lenses from ebay. yay!
stay tuned for loads of macro shots with the new lenses :)
