We had issues. There is someone taking care of things. The site may be up and down for a bit.

Re: My macro journey
If any of these bugs (and bird) were scaled up to the size of, say, a lion, they would be the catatonic kind of terrifying. Hell! In your lens, they're terrifying enough being their proper size, eating each other alive in the macro world of your backyard. Nice hunting.

Re: My macro journey
I have no doubt that you do also, if you just look close enough. That little white jumping spider on the flower was so small I wouldn't have noticed him if I hadn't been drawn to the flower by a bee, who flew off before I got a chance to shot it. I noticed something very small on the flower and discovered it was a little jumping spider.

Re: My macro journey
Here's another series of a critter from my back yard. Saw this little guy on a mountain mint plant. Jumping spiders have a unique look with those big puppy dog eyes. BTW those aren't pupils in the middle of his larger central eyes (he has 4 pairs of eyes!). Those are actually reflections of my flash diffuser with the lens in the center looking like a round pupil.

Re: My macro journey
I always keep on the lookout for small critters when I'm in the backyard these days. I was showing the pup some interesting fungi that I though she might like to try shooting when this little crab spider caught my eye.

Re: My macro journey
Went back outside a little while ago and heard this tiny little high pitched voice saying "HHEEEEELLLLPP MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!". Went over and found this. I felt a little like Vincent Price for a moment.
Those of you who saw the 1958 version of "The Fly" will understand.
I did get another shot of the spider working from the other end. I didn't post it because it just looked so wrong.

Lots of great shots. Makes it hard to pick a favorite.

Re: My macro journey
Those are amazing images, especially as a follow-up to the first one of this spider just seemingly hanging out. It's all new to me, so I wonder how the unfortunate fly discovered it was prey for the crab spider. There's no sign of a web in the photo. Thanks for these. Vincent would have loved them. They're really cool.clovishound wrote:I felt a little like Vincent Price for a moment.
