Another for this week's 100x Beyond the obvious theme.
I was out early in the morning walking across campus. I decided to take a route that would take me by some areas that are landscaped with some autumn flowers.
While looking around I found this great large web covering the tops of some low sedge type flowers. There was a spider in it along with lots of prepared meals and fresh ants.
I slipped one of the lesser magnifying Olloclip Macro lenses on to the phone, as I didn't want to get too close to the spider, and started to snap away.
As I was snapping and moving in and around the the spider I noticed it never moved and realized it was dead.
So, with a braver heart, I snapped on a stronger Macro lens and got in closer.
As I did that, I was startled when I saw a large dark mass below moving about.
Another much larger spider lived further down in that big web.
It blended in so well with the leaf litter below I never noticed it until its dark body shifted.
I have another very different version of this image that I like a lot. I will post it sometime in the future.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
The usual kit, iPhone, olloclip macro lens, iPad, edits in Snapseed.

#91/365 Photo Manipulations
While at the Little Rock Zoo today I shot many exotic animals. However, there are also lots of pretty plants and flowers there. I was taking a photo of some flowers and noticed the moth so I switched to my 35mm lens and got this "magnification". Mark another challenge off the list .

The Cape Blanco lighthouse is supposedly the only lighthouse that allows you to go inside to the top in Oregon! You see this massive magnifying glass/prism that turns and turns and inside is a tiny tiny light bulb. Notice how the reflection inside is upside down!
It was the coolest experience ever.

This image captures the spiral-shaped ovary of an anglerfish in cross-section. Once matured, these eggs will be released in a gelatinous, floating mass. For some species of anglerfish, this egg mass can be up to 3 feet long and include nearly 200,000 eggs.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.
