    Hi,
    Below are some shots that I took during the weekend with Aquaculture. Which one do you like best? Any comments?

    Set 1 (side view) - choose 1 please:




    Set 2 (top view) - choose 1 please:




    By the way, anybody know the common name for this spider? I was told it is Neoscona Theisi but I cannot find the common name. Thanks.

    Hi Luenny,

    I like pic 1 from both sets... I like the detail of the shadow on pic 1 from set 2.

    Luenny,
    I like 1,2. Set 1 pic 1 is a bit darker, details clearer.
    Set 2 pic 2 no shadow, better.

    Wow, now we have 3 people choosing #1 for set 1 but so far all choose #2 for set 2. Thanks.

    By the way, #2 in set 2 is shot without flash.

    He bought the ring led I think.

    By the way, I am not saying that people should start shooting macro without flash. It's just that on that day, the environment allow me to do so and still get an even lighting. Please do not start flaming me if your flashless macro turns out not nice.

    the sun actually usually causes harsh shadows...thats why if you are hardcore enough you should always have lightscreens to diffuse the light from the sun...but lucky you taht day must me good lighting...

    2&2 for me also.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Justin,
    That day it was drizzling when I was going there. Luckily it stopped. But the place was full of mud.

    Choy and Hristo,
    Thanks for selecting. Hmmm .... someone likes #1 of set 2. This is new.
