Twelve batteries later...

Tue Mar 17, 2009, 7:03 AM
  • Mood: Relief
  • Listening to: 'Miserere' by Allegri
  • Reading: various notes on the properties of metals
  • Watching: Black Books (the complete series)
  • Playing: with my spiders
  • Eating: dark chocolate
I'm happy to say that a random (or perhaps destined? Woooooo) meeting between myself and a rather uncommon species of spider has brought about a very productive photo shoot. Perhaps a little too productive. I was able to get so many good photos that I'm still editing them. Plus the fact I went through twelve batteries over the few days I had to shoot. I guess I could have used rechargeables but that would have slowed things down considerably. But I seem to be on the home stretch now (I hope!) So new work will be posted soon. I had a very positive experience with the subject. It was a mature female Northern Green Jumping Spider (Mopsus mormon) and for those of you who love spiders, you will no doubt agree that they are so much fun to be around let alone photograph, with their big eyes and inquisitive nature. I've heard tales of other arachnid enthusiasts who have gone for days in the bush looking for these ones' and never finding a single one, yet I stumbled across her on my front gate almost as if she were waiting there for me :P When it came time to let her go I must admit I was a little bit sad.

I have just a technical question in regard to uploading, I can upload the images fine but I find that the thumbnails are just a bit too small (for me anyway) so any advice on how to get a larger thumbnail would be greatly appreciated.

I've also started working again in silver and have had a few ideas for things so I'll post work from that up when it's done.

my unlimited love to you all,
Trevor.
