Saw this teeny weeny spider crawling on the hood of my pickup truck, so I rushed inside the house and got my macro gear. ;D 1DM2 + 100 2.8 USM macro, 1/125 sec, f/8, ISO 640, AI servo, Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash in M mode (1/32 power), hand held:  Surprising to me that the "smooth" paint surface of the hood looks textured at the zone of focus if magnified this much. |

Great macro shot Mastah. Love the composition, the reflection on the paint really made this a winner for me.

Here's a bizarre-looking one I got this morning..... it has 3 horns, with the middle one running the whole length of its body. Good that it's only about 10 mm in total length, otherwise I'll be forced to shoot it with a Sigmonster + 2x TC from a safe 100 meters away. ;D 1DM2 + 100 2.8 USM macro, 1/160 sec, f/8, ISO 400, AI servo, Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash in M mode (1/16 power), hand held: Can anybody ID this thing?  |

My from-out-of-town-sister-in-law's borrowing it at the moment and she swears she can see sweet potato growing out from the fenders already. |

Thanks, Rey and Ding! (Ding, you obviously remember your teacher with much fondness. ;D) Uh oh, I think I got that spider's cousin! :-) Haha! A mean shot Bobby, that size of prey should keep the Cebuano spider sated for a while. ;D |

Beautiful catch Mastah!! It's one of the thousands of Leafhopper species. It's the cousin of the "kuliglig" Cicada. |
