Was out for 4 hours tonight, and have a fair few more that I need to download. Would have felt bad if I had not got 1 straight onto Flickr though!
Light Painting / Long Exposure
Guernsey - Channel Islands
Here's a nice example of a Golden Silk Orb-weaver, or a "Banana Spider."
We saw tons of these at JN "Ding" Darling NWR (Sanibel Island, FL), but thankfully they mainly build their webs high enough that I didn't walk right into any.
Spun by me. Better than the ones I usually spin.
I probably absorbed a little of Chris's talent by some sort of osmosis-like process. Come to think of it, I did spin this with one of his magic orb-making rigs. The beer may have helped, too. Thanks, New Belgium!
Explored. March 7th, 2014. #6
Went out for a short session with my son tonight, down to the Ythan within the estate. I only took out the trusty DIY RGB tool and my Cree torch.
One orb in front of the other on the bridge. These are about 20ft apart and on the slope of the bridge, so I'm quite pleased to have managed a decent shaped swing.
I went out to catch the big full moon over Skiddaw in the lakes on Friday night & just couldn't resist spinning up an orb on the shoreline.
The skies nice & were clear on Friday night, but cloud arrived for Saturday night, so no shots to be had of the big full moon on that night :-/
I just managed to get a 30 second exposure to work with as the moon was so bright. I used a kood nd4 & a Lee 0.9 grad with all of the dark end of the grad over the lense.
Single exposure, nothing added or removed in photoshop. Adjustments made in ACR & minor levels, shaprening, crop in photoshop.
backside in their dewy web.
I had to check fences again this morning and of course one of the animals was in a place she wasn't supposed to be.
But I didn't waste my morning walk as I found such incredible sights in the meadow.
HOT, sticky ... and so worth it!
Characteristicly resting with her bum through the hole in the centre of the web. You can see a silk thread attaching her spinarette to the edge on the hole in the centre of the web.
Happy Arachtober everyone - We are nearly Half-way!
Green Chrysanthemum, you know the ones which are in supermarket flowers with lots of flowers on a stem. Orb Style which reminds me of one of those glass paper weights.

I finally got a good shot as she was producing web strands. This little lady has been very interesting to watch. She is about 1/2" long total length.
I was in Bolsa Chica on Saturday. It was a high tide so many 'digger' birds were not in action. However, on the north side there was an Osprey sitting at a high branch, A few hopeful photographers aimed at it for it to fly and catch something. However, it did not happen for half an hour (I left after that). A fellow photographer was looking around and found three different spider webs with 4 orb weavers. This is one of them. A six image HDR.
Please veiw large and note the colour of the web!!
The golden orb weavers are one of the largest spiders found in Australia. Their webs can be found hanging off sign posts, in or between trees and can even be spotted driving 100 km/h in a vehicle. The females can measure up to 45 mm while the smaller males measure only 6 mm. The male is often found in the web of his girl friend. Beside the male and the female boarders resides in the web. They are called quicksilver, dewdrop or droplet spider because their silvery body shines like drops of water in the sun.
If you look closely at the web you can notice that the snares have a golden color. The web is extremely strong. So strong that even small birds stick in the net.
It is that time of year when the Orb Weaver Spiders are spinning webs all over. Spotted a number at Willband Creek Park this morning.
Another orb and angle for Denis [ www.flickr.com/photos/biskitboy/ ] who's work i admire so much. from a great day out with new friends at the court house single shot taken then exposures made in lightroom for a 5 shot hdr
This is one of those shots that i went with the intension of doing and purposely went with the blue string in mind. Not much time to get as the morning breaks tho :(
A new to me location in the middle of nowhere which I was surprised to find a lot easier than I expected especially arriving after dark. Shot in one photographic exposure as usual, orbs on loan from Denis Smith's Ball of Light tool
Orb Spider Symmetry
I took a macro walk around Piney Lakes last night, came across a few interesting species that I will be posting pics of, Orb spiders are always so cool to see, & make such huge webs...spotted this one early on and then checked in on the way back to the car, and it was done building and lying in wait...

I believe this is an Argiope trifasciata, or Banded Garden Spider. Female, I think. I had been looking for dewdrops to photograph among the cattails and other brush when my friend Joy saw me and asked "Find any interesting orb weavers?" I immediately shifted gears, she and I both stumbled onto spiders of interest. This one was jeweled in dew drops. My spider book doesn't cover these and the internet doesn't offer a lot of detail. I'm going to need a better book! What I have found is that they are fairly common throughout the continental US, especially during late summer/early autumn. So check your weeds, you may have one or more of these beauties lurking about. Photographed during my amazing trainee weekend with the New York Master Naturalist program. Arnot Forest, NY. Four images stacked to capture focus throughout the body, legs and web. September 23, 2018
Last night I found this orb construction site, it seems out in the open they need to be assembled. Good thing the orb fits perfectly inside the underpass, but looks like it was a challenge to place the scaffolding without taking up the space for the orb.
My son took this shot when we went on a photophari to the Great Salt Lake last night!!!! Creepy.....
Another top night in Chee Tor tunnel, Derbyshire with fellow light painting lunatic, Tim Gamble. This was nailed fairly quickly using Tim's orb skills because I am severely rusty at these things!
The Orb at Night. Me, Rene, and Jonatas would end up here almost every night, just staring at the spherical reflection of the unreal world around us.
