I'm not sure why I'm so intrigued by these flower seed heads from last year's flowers, but when you look at them very closely and in this case converted to B&W, this image looks like a X-Ray of sorts.
I don't know. That's what I see here. Maybe I'm high on my own supply...
Anyhow... shot using a Tokina AT-x 90mm f2.5 Macro lens, plus it's AT-X 1:1 Extender and a Canon FD 50mm extension tube to get beyond 1:1 macro magnification.
Possibly Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus or Tachypodoiulus niger.

O girassol
que tanto gira,
que nunca pára,
para estar de cara
virada ao sol;
o girassol,
vira que vira,
como quem dança
um tango a solo;
o girassol
não me admira
que um dia arranje
um torcicolo.
In "Conto Estrelas em Ti", de Raul Malaquias Marques
Although Amaurobius ferox and Amaurobius similis are very similar, this one seems a bit lighter than the A. ferox specimens I have found and the darker annulations on the legs here rule out A. ferox in favour of A. similis. The only other possibility is A. fenestralis but these are not regarded as spiders of gardens and buildings and this was found in my house front door frame.

hoverfly on fennel - this is a further cropped version of a previous post of this early nature photography shot
I crafted the "grass" out of strands of 16ga electrical wire. I cut a small length of wire off and pulled the individual strands out. Then I bent them over in half. Once I had enough of them, I used a hot glue gun to keep the strands all together and make a small "plant." I then bent the strands over in a gentle shape. Then it was just a matter of applying the water drops in front of a reflective background and adding light.
Pretty simple, huh?
This is a 23 image photo stack using a new tool in my kit that I got for Christmas. A macro focusing rail or "slider." With it I can make very small adjustments to the focus by moving the entire camera forward ever so slightly. These are very small adjustments with this specialized tool.
Shot using a Canon FD 50mm f3.5 SSC Macro Lens, plus the 1:1 Canon FD 25 U extension tube. Shot at full 1:1 magnification. Each image was shot @ f4.

Detail of red zip wrapping around the suitcase. Beside the unusal form, I love the color.
Don't have the exact size, since the photo was taken trough a shop window, but less the the allowed 7.6 cm in length.
Learning by doing, a nice workshop on food photography, with Eileen Schäfer in Munich. First a short introduction to the subject, then start to photograph the stuff everybody brought. Actually Romanesco was on my Wishlist, but I could not get it in time. So lucky me, another participant brought some and I was able to borrow it for a couple of minutes.
Strobist info, since this is not my light, a small, square soft box feathered from above
