The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web...
Hey everyone! Kind of odd to take it from baby photos and beach/sunset shots to spiders but hey, I've got to keep you on your toes! I took these shots on Saturday night when I was out in the garage. I noticed a spider had built a web from our roof to a bush nearby so I worked in and got a few shots. As I discussed with a fellow photographer who asked me about it, using the 60mm macro that Nikon makes can get pretty interesting when I'm working that close to a subject with fangs. It's all worth it though because I truly believe the 60 is the sharpest of the Nikon macro glass.
I've told the story before but the worst it has gotten for me is having a banana spider fall down my back between my shirt and back while I was shooting another banana spider in front of me. I guess I bumped the web and the spider fell off, right down my back. I still get chills thinking about it but we both survived to live another day.
Here are a few more shots from my nighttime spider shoot:
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the shots and hopefully they didn't creep you out too much! Be sure to stop by again soon!
