Fall Season
Change of Seasons
Today, I spent 3 hours hiking out carrying my 15lb DSLR camera rig to capture a few images that best represent our transition into fall. This small collection of images are common for my area this time of year and I hope you enjoy.
Some challenges with close in photography (macro) especially spiders hanging on their webs is obtaining sharp focus across the width and depth of the spider, and of course the wind blowing the spider around while you attempt to focus.
The Orb Spider pictured is one of two living outside my home this fall, and I am very pleased. One is near our entrance way and I had the pleasure of seeing her each afternoon as I came home. The second one was more discrete living near a bush both welcome and I am honored to have the eaters of insects living here. Just remember once established they rarely move beyond their web and filter many insects into their diet. What a deal.
In order to live here - they must let me photograph them - all agreed.
