[ex0rzist]

Hi Guys, Went to CCK way with Tagorean after a rainy morning. It was a fruitful trip indeed. Every 5 steps we walk, we spot a subject !! Many subjects come out to dry themselves i suppose. Here are my takes for the day. C&C welcomed

Shot with a 40D
100mm Macro F2.8 USM
Raynox DCR-250
DIY Diffuser
Exif data available in the individual pics in my Flickr
ISO 100


#1 Common Garden Spider



#2 Fighting Spider hiding in nest
I though this was kinda cute. Hiding in his nest from the rain. So shot him in his home.



#3 Unidentified Caterpillar
Can anyone ID this Caterpillar for me ??



#4 Yellow Assassin Bug



#5 Hasselt's Spiny Spider
This was one the spiders on my "To shoot" list. So many of them in CCK !! I think i saw over 8 of them ! But kinda tricky to shoot them, thanks to Tagorean for telling me that I'm shooting the butt instead of the head !!!

#6 Twig-like Feathered Legged Spider
I was quite happy to spot this. Always wanted to have the chance to shoot this, and he even got a tapau meal ! This shot shows him spinning the web all over his meal.



#7 Twig-like Feathered Legged Spider
Not easy at all, spent quite alot of time on this fella. Got alot of difficulty locating its eyes, and so small some more.



#8 Twig-like Feathered Legged Spider
Another angle of the gem.



#9 Lesser Dart

Finally show hand! Very well exposed with details of the black portions without getting burnt on the shell. Nice capture of the twig-like spider too.

The assassins head is cute!
#5 will surely be a tough subject with both black and yellow. I doubt I could take anything as good as your shot

[aaSKaa]

ur caterpillar shot is the best.

I'm sure you can Troy, just keep trying and adjusting the aperature/flash/EV to get the correct one.

Yes, after shooting for awhile, it becomes a collection. TO hunt down those species which you are missing. Now that you mentioned it......the fighting spider does look kinda shocked......Hahaha

Really missed out the opportunity to learn and shoot with you and tagorean.

Hope I still have chance the next round .
