Night of the Spider

By jimmyneutron written 6/2/06 6:10 AM, published 6/2/06 6:10 AM

In the darkest corner of my garden...under a cresent moon. I creep ever so slowly down the path with a flash light in one hand and a camera in the other. I move ever so slowly checking each flower for the elusive crab spider. When I think all is lost and ready to return to the comfort of my home I spot one...not just one, but two. I begin to move in slowly...I set my flash and focus. Then "CLICK" I took the first picture. This is what I do everynight in the spring and summer. Here are the rewards of my search...

Waiting for Supper
Supper is Found This was a quick guess shot...I had less then 5 seconds before the spider attacked the fly and crawled under the petal...it happened so fast.

these shot are truly amazing. The clarity/sharpness go one step beyond. I personally feel that these are in the top 10 photos that I've seen here, since joining. I tip my hat to you on these shots

These are better than magazine quality. In The books I use some of the photos are not half as good as yours. Do you ever enter contests or submit some of your work for consideration? I know your bio says that is your dream. Persue it. You are so excellent at what you do.
