Macro Spiders & Flowers…
by Rodney Campbell on Mar.29, 2012, under Life, Photography
I’d not been out with my macro lens for quite some time so one afternoon recently I went out with the Tamron 90mm macro and my SB900 flash with my cheap $5 ebay over the lens popup diffuser on and went in search of the little things in life to photograph (a.k.a. stuff out in the streets nearby :))
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
What Lies Beneath – Phonognatha graeffei, referred to as the Leaf Curling spider

and who can resist the tiny balls of fluff
