Jumping spiders are perhaps the most diverse of all spider families. For the first time ever I found a cardinal jumper. It is one of the species of jumping spiders which are mimics of mutillid wasps (velvet ant) As always it wasn't too cooperative having it's picture taken and the front views I got all a little out of focus but I've put one in comments anyway.! I know where this one is hanging out so hopefully next time I'll get some better shots.
Found on my porch wall and captured for some photos. Happy Arachtober 28th!
Lyssomanes viridis - Magnolia Green Jumper (male)
Ho beccato questo ragno saltatore sul mio balcone durante una sessione di guerra con le bolle di sapone insieme a mia figlia. Stava quasi per affogare in quel millimetro d'acqua!
Telamonia dimidiata, Family: Salticidae
This is a Female spider.
This spider shows sexual dimorphism – the male and female do not resemble each other and could each be mistaken for a separate species.
The name two-striped jumper suits female of this species rather than the male.
Wikipedia: The two-striped jumper, or Telamonia dimidiata, is a jumping spider found in various Asian tropical rain forests, in foliage in wooded environments.
The female is light yellowish, with a very white cephalus and red rings surrounding the narrow black rings round the eyes. Two longitudinal bright red stripes are present on the opisthosoma. The male is very dark, with white markings, and red hairs around the eyes. They appear in Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, India, and Bhutan. Telamonia Dimidiata are non-venomous and produce no toxin significant to humans.

The floats are not moving very fast, but still, this stunt seems really tricky to judge to me. Moreover, it was sufficiently dramatic that I couldn't keep the camera steady.

I've been "going long" for quite a while and thought I'd have a go at something a bit less expansive.
I bought a new rig (small rig) to mount my flash off shoe and with a homemade diffuser (PVC sheet). I then set my flash to fire manual (1/4 +0.3).
The outcome is amazingly better than my regular setup.
I will continue to experiment this setup with a few mount shots.
I will never change, deep DOF is what I like , but my critics say shallow DOF is better. Well , is it ??
Phidippus mystaceus. That isn't profanity..............F/4.5
For scale, its abdomen just barely covered the dot on a playing die when it hopped there. It's the same kind of jumping spider as this one.
I asked a friend of mine (also a photographer) to jump to take a photo of his silhouette.
He had the idea to jump showin his two Fuji cameras :-)
You know you've seen something special when even the seasoned guide on the boat is freaking out in front of you!
We'd finally broken our whale sighting duck when we spotted this humpback playing on the surface at the mouth of the fjord. He was rolling upside down and slapping his 4m long flippers onto the ocean surface and generally seemed to be having a great time. He'd then take a huge gulp of air, dive and emerge several minutes later 50 or so meters away.
That in itself was an awesome sight but he upped the ante and started hurling himself out of the water, (breeching). At first they were modest jumps as per this shot but after 3-4 attempts he managed to hurl his entire 30 tons clear of the water. We just gawped with wide eyed amazement and knew we'd witnessed something very special.
As I mentioned in my last dolphin shot trying to photograph an event like this isn't easy. Long zoom lenses and bobbing boats don't make for a stable platform and trying to focus on something that's not even in view compounds the problem. Needless to say I was well happy with this shot.
Jpeg with post processing in camera raw and photoshop. Shot handheld using a Fuji X-T2 & 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 @ 100mm (effective 150mm), aperture f7.1, exposure 1/4000 second, ISO 800
After finishing its meal, this jumping spider - possibly a female Eris militaris? - was less active and I was able to get it to "pose" for a few stacks. :)
Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 flash. Four-shot handheld focus stack, with a significant crop (~18MP). As you can see from the reflection in the eyes, a leaf was partially blocking the flash...
UPDATE (June 10th): There were some stacking artefacts near the leftmost front eye that were driving me up the wall, so I redid the stack & postprocessing. Now much happier with it & bumping up in my stream.
