St Ignatius church in Sunderland - performing a lightpainting workshop / demo for the Seaham Camera Club - all freehand the orb was made with one of my homemade orb tools and the walls painted with a Lenser P7QC torch

Yes I bought one! No I've not used it much and frankly may never, but there is one photo I want to try and it involves the sea so maybe in the summer I'll get round to playing with it again. one thing I liked here is my beautiful blue daisy bush in all its glory but not long after this its died! I have cuttings they still look hopeful! but not investigated them.... a bit frightened to do so!
Too cold to go outside and do landscape, so last night I decided to go out to the back yard and found these orbs of orange light dancing down the pathway in Stuttgart. Wanted to see if it was Woody Allen's Orb, but the closer I got to it, the further it moved away. :-) Hope everyone is having a great start to the week.
for Arachtober 05
sorry posting and running ..I will catch up with Arachtober over coming days
most likely Metellina segmentata (female)
Location, light, dark, time of day. It would be difficult to recreate this situation on purpose. But there it was.
The before and after of the life of a Golden Orb Weaver Spider.
I found this female Golden Orb Weaver and her egg sacs in a dead bush at our outback camp. Orb weavers usually mate in Autum. The female sometimes eats the male after mating.
This spider had three egg sacs approximately 3cm round. Each sac contains hundreds of eggs. The silk she uses for her egg sac is strong, yellow, and curly. Baby spiders are called spiderling. The baby spiders hatch within a couple of weeks, but remain inside their egg sac until winter is over. Once the tiny spiders emerge from their egg sac in early spring, they make small webs near their birthplace, or disperse on the wind, attached to short lengths of silk.

Another featherless Sunday today, my oh my, how time flies. Here is a picture I recently took in my yard. Ir is a Silver Orb Weaver spider and is quite common in Florida. They always appear in the summer.

Creating these orbs / Amazing Circles is so much fun and addictive. This one created from a crop of an iris blooming in my garden somewhat covered with pine pollen. Tis the season for that ! !
Light painting with Sabine.R as the "grand finale" of a photowalk at the Zitadelle Spandau / Spandau Citadel. As before, Sabine painted the orb while I was operating our cameras. This time I managed to capture the whole orb (the one before taken at a previous photowalk had been only half an orb, because I had made a mistake with the exposure on my camera; please see first comment). This orb still isn't perfectly captured, because I was a little too late with stopping the long exposure on my camera, but I actually like the colourful, rhythmic "afterglow" of Sabine's multicolour light painting flashlight, because it reminds me of a heartbeat as seen on a medical monitor. The vital signs look good, don't you agree?
Light Painting mit Sabine.R als krönender Abschluss eines Besuchs der (ansonsten fotografisch nicht so ergiebigen) Spandauer Zitadelle. Wie schon zuvor hatte hier wieder Sabine das Zepter bzw. die Taschenlampe geschwungen, während ich unsere Kameras bedient hatte. Hier habe ich den Orb aber erstmalig ganz auf's Bild bekommen (beim ersten Orb im Dezember '18 hatte ich bei mir die Belichtung ja versehentlich zu früh abgebrochen und so nur einen halben Orb aufs Bild bekommen; siehe ersten Kommentar). Zwar war ich hier dieses Mal sogar ein Tickchen zu spät mit dem Beenden meiner Belichtung, aber das "Nachleuchten" von Sabines Taschenlampe mit Farbwechsel, als sie diese schon wegpackte, erinnert mich an eine Herzlinie wie auf dem Monitor - und die Vitalparameter sehen doch gut aus, oder?

Won't be popular with many but I've never taken this close of a look to a spider. This orb weaver was at the garden center where we had our photography class Saturday and it was a popular photo amongst the group. We all got different shots of it. That is the beauty of a group shooting the same thing, each seeing something completely different.

Another orb from a couple of weeks ago at the lake but this is made with a light bulb, the local wildlife must wonder what the hell I'm doing ?? Also, I quite like the little plane photobomb in the sky
Having fun with my photos creating these Amazing Circle orbs. This one was created from a photo of a water lily.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four easy steps to create orb - I use Adobe Photoshop.
1. Crop a section of photo into a square you think will make a good orb pattern.
> If using Photoshop Elements, crop photo with another software tool then open cropped square in Elements.
> From menu bar:
2. Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates>Polar to Rectangular
3. Image>Rotate>Flip Vertical (180 degrees)
4. Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates>Rectangular to Polar
Please submit your orbs to the Amazing Circles group.
I have noticed this one over the last few nights out in the front yard, I love the colours on its abdomen.
And meet one of the artists responsible for the web forest display albeit rather drenched in the mist.
This orb / Amazing Circle was created from a fractal I created using Tierazon fractal software.
Explored - Thanks for all your views, comments and FAVs.
This was captured in a garden. It was a glass orb with this spiral pattern on it. I have cropped to keep within the 3" rule. I used a filter to help define the edges.

A baby orb weaver spider, on a grass shoot.
The spider species Neoscona crucifera, commonly known as Hentz Orb-Weaver, belongs to the family Araneidae. This family of spiders is a very large one and includes 2800 species. One feature of the webs of some orb-weavers is the "stabilimentrum", a crisscross band of silk through the centre of the web. A crisscross silk is seen on the lefthand side of the spider.

For my husband, Ethan. He digs this sort of thing. I do too but he's got a big brain, you see, and can really appreciate the geometry in this. I see the blue base of those orbs and squeal with delight. Ethan studies each shape intently and can tell you why it's there and how it's shaped the way it is.
