k9angel Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) A spider I managed to get a pic of the other day. He was pretty high up in the tree so I had to stand on the trampoline to get a pic of him. The things we do... :laugh: His web was huge and there was an even bigger web next to it a little further over from this spiders web, so I'd hate to see the size of the spider that spun that one I love the colour of the sky in the background. I also love the way it looks like some of the leaves in the background are shadows. Edited April 28, 2012 by k9angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Glad you didn't fall ! It was worth it :) :) the spider is probably 'she' ..look closer, and you may see a couple of tiny spiders lurking ..they are the males Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9angel Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks guys. :) I was quiet happy with how it turned out. And yeah Pers, I thought he may of been a she, especially with a belly like that. :laugh: Oh and speaking of falling, when we were at the Japanese gardens last weekend, I was trying to take a pic of the boys on the little red bridge that runs across the waterfall. Anyways, here I was standing on a rock (a wet slippery one at that) half way up this waterfall trying to get a decent pic of them when I almost slipped, not once but twice. :laugh: Seriously if I had of slipped, I would of fell a good 15+ metres down the rocky waterfall. Funnily enough, I am shite scared of heights but all I was worried about was my getting a good pic and keeping my camera dry, I wasn't worried about me... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9angel Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks guys. :) I took this pic using the manual settings. I think I had it on the M or AV setting, pretty sure it was the M setting. I was experimenting today. :laugh: I really have to read up on it so I know what I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't find one for the 350D, you can always borrow my 450D print one... there shouldn't be too many real differences between the two models. T.
