this is a red-back spider . they are very venomous and potentially deadly to the very young, old or weak .. you could end up in hospital after receiving a bite ..
greg was cleaning up some pots and came across this one .. she was extremely large for this sort of spider, being about 3.5mm or 1.5 inches including her legs .. he then went and put on gloves .. !!!
of course i risked death or excruiating pain to take her photograph, being as close as i could get with the 100mm macro .. which is probably less than 6" ... they dont jump .. !!
she is now in spider heaven ..
i overlayed a paper texture found here ... NinianLif

I can't tell you where I got these quotes from, I seem to have forgotten to write down the source (but I'm guessing either from someone on flickr or a facebook friend) so if you wrote them or know who did, please post in comments, thanks!
I really like the first quote, it makes me feel like I don't have to worry as much as I do and that I can just start over tomorrow if things don't go so well today.

This small Limax Maximus was crawling around on the BBQ late the other night. I came out to shoot some images of a larger slug on the ground but this one seemed to be the more photogenic of the two.
These were shot at night with my Canon Digital Rebel on Macro mode using the on camera flash. I switched between manual and autofocus. Not my best photographic work by a long shot but still somewhat interesting, I think.
pulling bark off a dead tree and we found this spider .. i've tried to find out what he was but i'm not sure .. he could be a tarantula or an extremely large wolf spider .. he was LARGE .. about 2" or 5cm across - including his legs ..
the workflow is in the photographer's comments in dpchallenge .. just click on the thumb and it will open ..
i used a ghostbones texture in my processing ..
also used a photograph of some grass in our yard and a spider's web .. not this spider's web ..!!.. ..
Wandering around Brockley there was plenty of opportunity for moss seed heads. I liked the red of the front door of this as a nice colourful backdrop that the green seed heads merge into.
Very small living organism, since I couldn't get into the lab for C. elegans or some shots of tissue.
Thanks to Eric for providing the strawberry, and Justin for playing photography intern!

Well, I wanted to take some pictures of the windowbox collembola to prove that they are EVERYWHERE. I set up the camera and found this elongate, but when I magnified the live view, I found this other, globular, springtail which was too small for me to see with my eyes alone. [Actually, if you know where to look, you can just about see the white spots if they are moving.]
I think the globular is Sminthurinus trinotatus based on the spots on its head and body but the elongate - which is out of focus here shall remain anonymous.
The joys of unemployment. Lots of circles, new gouache, broken rapidograph, ink splodges.

"Small Things" -- curbside paper flowers by 5th-graders from the Josiah Quincy School in Boston's Chinatown.
This trick works moderately well on small to medium sized children. The trick is to practice and then bring attention to your hand that they think the coin is in while you slip the coin into your pocket.
I've done this in front of classrooms of children with great results. When the coin disappears, the first thing you say to the audience is, " Ok, how did you do that? Can you bring it back?"
This weeks challenge was to find small things!
