Macro and Flora Image of the Week Jason Stander for week ending Oct. 28th, 2011 - Hunted hunter
Congratulations Jason!!!
Hi all... when taking a break between all the amazing game drives at Motswari private game reserve (RSA)... I decided to take out the macro lens (MPE 65mm) and look for interesting subjects to photograph... and I had no luck at all for about an hour... it was midday and swelting hot... was just about to give up... when suddenly a spider (5mm in length) dangled in the corner of my eye... dangle to a branch... I had a quick look and thought it is probably an ugly spider... so don't bother... but decided to take a shot anyway... and surprise surprise... here was a bark spider which had just hunted a jumper... it was difficult (with such a narrow dof) to get both the eyes of the bark and jumping spider in focus... look how both spider camouflage so well with the bark of the branch... I was delighted!
Crits and comments welcome... ENJOY
