Re: Photos of the Day
Don't worry, I've got my head around this photography lark to know what depth of field and the like means now I have to say that I do like using lower f numbers, I like the effect of shallow depths of field -- although it's not always appropriate, I know. The aperture setting is my mode of choice for much of the time.

I was mostly trying to just get photos of Lord Spider today. Next time he comes out, I'll have more of a play around to try and get him looking his best

WARNING! If you don't like spiders, I suggest you look away now...or at least read this post with your eyes closed.

Just went out to bother Lord Spider II again (he will eat me one day) and noticed that -- yay -- he was sitting in the middle of his web. And having his lunch...munching on a wasp!

Lord Spider II prancing on his web:



Lord Spider II from the side:



And Lord Spider II up close!

Yes, Lord Spider II eats wasps. He is the bane of wasp existence.

Lord Spider II would eat anything. My housemates and I were joking that one day they'll find my camera lying on the path outside and Lord Spider snacking on me.

Re: Photos of the Day
he is an impressive beastie Hoopy,although that web looks very weedy.
one of my aunty's bought me back a bottle of booze from her holiday once and that had wasps floating in, mind you the following year she bought booze with full sized lizzards in, yum, pickled lizzard.

Re: Photos of the Day
Pictures of spiders and spiders outside don't bother me. Its when the climb on me or are in the house that I scream SPIDER HELP SOMEONE KILL IT BEFORE IT EATS ME...because I really can't handle spiders that are near me. But those are really cool pics Hoops! And kind of disgusting.

Re: Photos of the Day
Yes, my housemate and I were discussing such and said it was probable that Lord Spider was actually Lady Spider. But we also decided that the latter doesn't have quite the same dramatic effect. Lord Spider isn't so much a title, but a state of being. So regardless of sex, it is Lord Spider.

Given that the current Duke (not Duchess) of Normandy is the Queen, I think we can let this pass.

Re: Photos of the Day
I thought I had posted this already but I can't find it

A little difficult to get close enough as most of the Balga 'spears' were covered with bees.
