[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 156346, member: 12214"] I took the following photos last night but didn't process them until this afternoon. Of course, night photography means creepy crawly photography. So, here are a few of my results from last night's heebie jeebie photo safari. All photos were taken with my D7000, AF-S 105mm f/.8 micro-Nikkor, ISO 200, f/7.1, and on-camera flash. This moth is called a rosy maple moth. They are very common in the Eastern U.S. The southern versions are much more colorful than their northern brethren. The color this moth is in the photo is pretty accurate. what attracted me was that it has hot pink legs & feet. Weird. Very weird. [ATTACH=CONFIG]39206._xfImport[/ATTACH] What evening photo excursion is complete without the requisite arachnid images. Here goes. You have been warned. The photos below are two individual labyrinthine orb weaver spiders. We have lots and lots of these guys all over the place. BTW, spiders give me the creeps, except when I look at them through the lens of my camera. If you look closely at the second spider photo, you can see the spinnerets where the web silk comes out. These two photos will be wonderful creep factors for my students tomorrow. It's known as the high school science teacher's revenge. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]39207._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39208._xfImport[/ATTACH] And after taking all those creep factor photos, I came inside and took photos of nice, pretty, soft, furry felines. These are the feel good photos so I wouldn't have nightmares about spiders all night. :) All three cats were staring at spousal unit as he put some ice cream in a bowl. Need I say more? :) [B]Alex[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39209._xfImport[/ATTACH] [B]Buster[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39210._xfImport[/ATTACH] [B]Creature[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39211._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
