Spiders, Shield bug and Water drops

tchuanye · 21st April 2006

Was overseas the last few days and no chance to post.

Took these last week. All with A610+reverse lens.

The spiders were first time I have taken them, a wolf spider which is very well camoflauge, and a Common two-tailed spider. The shield bug has quite nice eyes, and the water drops shots were just taken during a party celebration.

Appreciate any critique pls. Thnks!

#1: Shield Bug

#2: Camo wolf spider
Will try a frontal shot the next time.

#3: Two tailed Spider top

#4: The eyes arrangement are really spooky, like 2 pairs of eyes on top of the other.
(quite a poor shot, so pls excuse it)

#5:Water drop

Please excuse me if I am wrong. I am still learning.

1st shot, eye/head seem a bit OOF to me.

2nd shot, nice shot with the spider in its environment but the OOF foreground on the lower right hand side is a bit distracting.

3rd & 4th, I love it.

5th shot, lack the 'wow' factor.
