Cheers,

Amazing shots. All done with a 100mm macro or something?

**CK Yeo** · 3rd Jan 2009, 11:00

CK,
I pick #2 out of the 4 pictures
For #1, I can't make out what is it the spider is eating.

**CK Yeo** · 3rd Jan 2009, 16:34

Ya, agree that can't really see what is it eating but I like the look of it caught in the act. This shot can see better.

Ang ang for the new year.

ck,
second picture shows the subject with it's victim better.
But DOF is too shallow, if both of them are sharp it would be much better.

Second picture is quite nice. Did you shoot these in Admiralty Park? By the way, it's a stink bug.

Looks like a female heavy jumper devouring a male lynx spider.
Nice catch!

**luenny** · 4th Jan 2009, 22:51

I don't think the prey is a lynx. Doesn't have that spikes on the legs.

**CK Yeo** · 5th Jan 2009, 07:53

Ya, all at Admiralty Park. The pond area is INFESTED with stink bugs.

Lyxn spider? spikes? ok, I get it, the pics are not sharp enough to tell.

2 more from the weekend from SGB.

Ant-Mimicking Spider with 7 legs. Ya, I know about the black background. Overcast day, so too bad.

Remind me to go look at the action file I used for these bug shots... don't know why they turn out soft after I resize them. hmmm...

Looks like I better put my 100mm macro (non-USM) to more good use.

Lovely! Why i never see butterflies?

**CK Yeo** · 13th Jan 2009, 20:47

Because butterflies don't stay still long enough.

**benetay** · 13th Jan 2009, 21:14

Well that's the case but it's challenging!

Cheers!
