[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi everyone! Here I am posting this photo at 11:30PM using a little nugget of time before going to bed... and I've just read the forum about getting too "obsessed" with TN ;-)

had a great time in The Lakes and am looking forward to having a look at all the shots posted while I was away (though that will have to wait till tomorrow... I'm sooo tired!).

Here are two predators: A Nursery-Web Spider and an Emphid Fly.

I hope you like it!

Hi Joe,
Welcome back, hope you had a good holiday. Just came myself back from Finland. Very good capture of the Spider treating himself with a fly. Excellent wildlife violence action with good composition, POV and sharp details.

Hi Joe

Welcome back, hope you had a nice time up here in the Lakes!
Nice shot of the Spider muching on the poor Emphid fly, I like the tight crop as it really adds impact to the shot.
Excellent details and nice natural colours.

Hi Joe,

I'm laughing - you qualify as an addict running to TN to post this when you should be in bed! Great macro - not a very appetizing sight. So clear that we see the hairs standing up on his legs. Great natural colors and details - as always. Hope you had a great holiday - good to see you back.

I was wondering where ya had gone...Fine sharp and good flash...I wonder if you could help Asbed with is flash question. My answer wasn't pretty...and speaking of spiders!:-)

Merhaba Joe,
Harika bir makro olmuş.

Elinize sağlık.

Your macros take on a different aspect with the use of a converter, Joe; they turn into precious gems of Nature Photography.
Thanks for sharing this latest Gem and keep them coming, my young friend.
