This spider was a tiny little thing that Caroline spotted inside a flower today. It was an overcast day so Im surprised the colours have come out ok. Im not sure what this little guy was looking for....

The end of the season is near here. I thought I should check the place where, last year, I shot, at the end of September, my best shots of the season, of mating Aeshna mixta... and this year again, they were there, ready to give me my little reward before all the odes disappear for another winter.
My first jumping spider, and isn't he a beauty. They have the most wonderful eyes, so perfectly smooth.
He was tiny, probably only 4 mm long and was a difficult subject. This was focus stacked from 3 images to get the required depth of field. He was walking up a wall so I quickly built a set for him and coaxed him onto it, he was a bit quick, but sat still for a few seconds while I grabbed the three shots for this stack. I put him back on the wall after the shoot so he could go on hunting. I wish there were more jumpers around...
Just to say a big thank you for all your comments & faves that put yesterday's shot on Explore FP, thank you all :)) Had enough of the snow so back to sunnier climes for this shot. Have a great day everyone!
Teşekkürler Nuray for spotting this in Explore #241 05/02/09

This unidentified spider with pinkish/reddish head and green legs with yellow/white body with a black marking similar to Batman's bat logo/icon was photographed at the NAPWC July 4.
He was not terminated after the shoot. He was gently returned where we found him.

"Knock on Wood" Week is now over. :( Thanks so much for sharing in this tribute to all things wood...I hope you weren't board. Ha! Board, not bored...get it? OK, nevermind.
Hand-Hewn Door: I have to admit--out of nearly a dozen wood photos this week, I saved my absolute favorite for last. An old, weathered door like this is so steeped in history and character, that as a photographer you hope to capture & convey some of its rich storytelling.
Happy Wide-Open Sunday!

Shoot with natural backlighting and adjust the level to make it clearer & contrast to create this feel.
On the right-hand side, out of sight the grip the handle, the shown part are approx. 45 cm, the free space to right less. No shown the handle, to the Maybe a tight fit for the macro Mondays rule of 3 inch or less.

Bird's Eye View: Oh, you thought I meant the 85mm f/1.2L II was only good for people portraits? Noooooo...this lens creates such an incredibly clear, silky & shallow depth of field that it makes any subject look as though it's sitting in front of a fake backdrop. But be warned: focusing with this lens can be a challenge—the DoF is so ridiculously razor thin that I had to stop down just to get his beak and his eyes in focus. :)
Note: To clear up some confusion: I've actually owned the 85mm f/1.2L II for about 6 months now (I thought including Grandma's portrait from last Fall would convey that). C'mon now—as if I would recommend a lens without first trying it out! :)
Thank you all for your feedback & support! I will catch up this weekend!
