Crab Spider gets attacked by Jumping Spider

11 years 2 months ago - 11 years 2 months ago #272371 by jaharris1701
hello gang,, this is my first post here,, I've been around forums for several years but just happen to stumble upon this forum from a link to a "Macro" video and I recognized at least one members face ( Bluesydude) so I joined, these images were recently taken here in Central Florida with nothing but ambient light, it was a cloudy/overcast day and its VERY early in the macro season here so I wasnt expecting to see much life, I stumbled upon this little crab spider perched on this little flower and then I witnessed the attack from this jumping spider and THATS why I love macro photography,, its fascinating to witness nature in its most RAW form :P these images were shot using my 5D MKII and a Sigma 105mm macro lens handheld, your comments are greatly appreciated :)

The change may just be the loss incurred when the images are translated to the sRGB color space by the web browser.

I dont suppose you can attach images with "Flickr" ?? I attached these from my hard drive and the result is pretty disappointing lol

Yes you can attach from flicker. Copy image and add file here. There is a tremendous difference.... ;)

Why so serious?

I also love bugs and spiders and macro photos. It can be very surprising what you find when you get close.

well, just like with all the other sites I post at, I go to Flickr and choose "share" then select the size of BBC that I want and copy that, then I come here to Paste it here, it works everywhere other then here, when I try to paste the BBC here I get a red box and nothing pastes, I try to paste it right here in this section,,

Possibly the file you are trying to paste is over 2 MB...In which case you have to use a smaller file...

Thanks Scott,, I figured it out and did a repost, I dont recall how it happened but I guess I was logged on under my Facebook acct when I first started this thread so it wouldnt let me link anything from Flickr, I noticed under my avatar that it said I was "offline" so I logged on here and did a "test" post and it worked fine that way,, sorry,, I'm new here :blink: but we got it figured out :cheers:
