Thanks All!

Howdy little leaf, My neighbors told me about the neat web in their backyard. I started taking photos at 7am and finished at 8am after almost 150 shots. There were half a dozen that I marked as keepers and then finished-off in Adobe Lightroom :). Howdy Ponders, You found out my secret...

Howdy Laurie, Thanks everybody. I still try to pop back in here once in a while :o.

Howdy All, This morning's macro. I didn't put "Orb Weaver Spider" in the title since I can't change it if I'm wrong :o. You should see it when he turns on those strings of lights at night :).

Howdy All, Thanks for the kind comments :). Mat3o: Thanks for the ID! :o. I thought the males were the drab tan colored and the females had more green. Guess I got that wrong :(.

Howdy All, As my wife and I drove away from a birthday party late last night, she exclaimed that there's a giant ant on the windshield! :D. I pulled over and scooped him into a large cup. We had a nice photo session today for which I rewarded him with a couple of my hand-raised blaptica...

Howdy, Other than just poking around the neighborhood, looking for Mulberry trees, checkout your local (older?) elementary school yards. The three nearby me all have mulberry trees :). They use them for the classroom silkworm projects.

Howdy PhotoPrincess, I do have one (actually two!) :). The tents do come in handy but I haven't tried one with insect photography yet :o. I just might breakout my beauty dish too!

Howdy All, I decided to concentrate on a few close-up shots. Not too happy with the light diffusion :(. I'll work on that with whatever the next project turns out to be :o.

Howdy All, I borrowed this Macleay's Spectre Stick Insect from CF member "Ponders" for a little photo shoot. Still working on getting the lighting a bit more diffuse. I'm using a Canon 430EX and 580EXII with Rogue and Fotodiox modifiers. Canon 5DIII, 100L macro, f/14 ISO100 160th. (He's...

Howdy Ponders, If she looks a lot different that this one, I just might have to take you up on your offer :).

Howdy Kara, Thanks for the ID :)! It never occured to me that I was given the wrong ID :o. I looked at an online photo of the Vietnamese version and it appears to be a definite match.

Howdy All, Keeping two of these Indian Stick Insects (body is 3-4" long) from a friend of a friend who raises them. I set up a terrarium with sticks for the Sticks along with a constant supply of fresh rose leaves and the occasional misting. They seem to be eating ok. They are noctornal so...

Howdy SBCK Members, (Yes, Dsignrguy made it :D!) A couple of photos of "houseofchameleons" critters from today's meeting:

Howdy SBCK members, I've got the chocolate chip cookies and the bottled water :). I'll bring the camera and macro lens if anyone has something to photograph :).

Howdy All, "Ponders" loaned me her Pitcher Plant for a photo session today :). Canon DSLR 5D3 100L Macro lens + 36mm Kenko extension 430EX + 580EXII Strobes. Shot at 1/100 f/16 ISO 100. The final was made from a 7 shot "Focus Stack" using the freebie "CombineZP" software tool. 2" long...

Howdy All, I had taken a series of 10 shots to eventually create a "Focus Stack" using the freebie software tool called "CombineZP" but hadn't gotten around to combining the image stack until this morning! It did a pretty good job (some artifacting) of bringing together the various focussed...

Howdy All, Here are a few photos from today's great SBCK Christmas Party :)! One of Santa's Little Helpers The Boys Decorating their Chameleon Cookies It's the Girls' Turn :) The Results Hungry Helper :)

I've got 2 batches of 15ea of big chicken legs marinating in two different, yummy sauces :).

Howdy All, Thanks for the kind comments :o! It's always fun to shoot with a macro since you never know what is hiding down there in micro-land :).
