I spotted this pretty little web blowing gentle in the morning breeze under our picnic table.
My friend Andrea snapped the photo though and did a marvelous job of it!
This spider reached out his legs, while hiding his head, deep inside his funnel web while I photographed him with a 1x macro lens and ring flash.
My first attempts at macro photography.
Taken using my Nikon D3000 with 70-300 AFS, and a Raynox DCR250 close up filter.
Any ideas what type of spider - I haven't got a clue on these sort of things.
I was pretty impressed by the way this harvestman spider split his legs to fall on the three petals of the clover leaf he was resting on. May 2013
This spider has been living out my side door all summer long. We've gotten along pretty well, and today is no different, for he took care of the bees that like to sting me. Sorry mailman, the spider stays right where he is.
I had a wonder through the backyard this morning to see what I could find to enter in the Up Close & Spineless Comp for the Aust Museum. I don't have a macro lens, just a cheap filter type thing that I attach to my kit lens that came with a fisheye type lens I got cheap off ebay. But it seems to do the trick. Only problem is you have to get up bloody close for it to work..so the wasp shot was taken with me holding the camera at arms length and just pushing the button. Needless to say he didn't like it much, but I'm glad it turned out ;0)
