Orb Weaver

[John Holland]

A Orb Weaver. This one was up in the arbor roofing, so I had to climb a ladder to get close enough. It "sleeps" most of the day and does its hunting at night. I am enjoying the high ISO performance of this camera.

ISO 3200, f/5.6, 1/125 second, 180mm

ISO 10000, f/8, 1/320 second, 180mm

That is a fine pair of images, the clarity of the detail is impressive. Fascinating creatures.

[Pete Askew]

Very impressive indeed. Be careful on that ladder in the dark though!

 

[John Holland]

I appreciate your comments, gentlemen.

I join in the chorus, it is marvelously done. Were you supported by Helga? On the ladder?
