Spider

Spotted the first jumping spider I've seen this year

My dad had a tupperware full of bugs waiting for me when I saw him last week. Aren't parents great?

This spider reminds me a lot of the wind-up guy in Hellboy, I named him or her Rupert.

size 5mm!

This little monster was making her way across my apartment. Despite my arachnophobia, I caught her and released her way out in the yard.

salticidae

This fellow(ette? can you sex them as juveniles on the pedipalp size?) was spinning his or her web about 30cm in front of a dark brown creosoted fence. The shot came up like this: why the out-of-focus fence was so light I don't know, but it works in a weird sort of way.

I took a bunch of shots of this spider and this was my favorite. I used a ring flash and it's shape was reflected in each eye. I didn't like the mechanical look, so I recreated the catch light as a small set of circles using Photoshop. www.worldprimatesafaris.com/ planned an amazing trip for us!

This spider crawled out of the sink plughole after my son finished his ablutions. Don't think it was very pleased. About 2.5 inch leg span

This one was sitting in a white cup on my table. That's how I 'created' the pupils, just by flashing trough the cup.

Hello my friends! Yes, I'm still alive :) Here are my macro photos taken with smartphone Lumia 920 from this weekend.

Just for Demo. Small Spider climbing in Web. This is the limit for my simple optical ArnoSync detection device. Pointing to such a small insect is very difficult to ... Uncropped image.

Garden Orb Weaver Spider, hanging out by my pool equipment, probably only about 2cm in size...

Possibly Tegenaria Gigantea. This was hiding on a roof tile in my garage. It is my first attempt (not great I know) of photo stacking. Have to say it was the best model I've ever shot. Never moved once the photography started. That was probably because it was guarding its supper which was silk wrapped behind it.

Went on a photoshop course this week and was blown away by the complexity of the program.

This is the product of one of my first photoshop projects, combining a web I took in the lake districts with a little garden spider I photographed recently.

He ended up looking quite big and ominous...

Does it give you the creeps?

Found in a head of lettuce I picked at a local farm.

Had a little bit of time this morning to shoot some more insects.

I hate spiders so I still can't believe I took this. Even looking at it grosses me out, but I can try quashing my arachnophobia enough to appreciate the fine markings on this hairy beasty and the incredible web artwork.

This morning when I left for work I noticed a spider had built a web between the front column and our hose bib. I didn't have a chance to shoot him this morning and when I got home most of his web had been destroyed, but he was still hanging out so I figured I'd pull out my macro lens and take some shots.
