FZ40 w/ LC55 Esmarelda the Garden Spider
 

She had just caught this guy and he was still trying to get away...fate wasn't on his side...she rebuilt her web last noight and I'm sure she was hungry...these are in the shade with harsh sunlight for a backdrop so the best I could do under the circumstances and my limited skills...some of the shutter speeds were slow and she was moving in combo with a wind so fortunate I got any shots...

Esmeralda is getting a good meal!

Excellent shots.

Nice shots! Did you spot metered?

Yes I did Tulio...thanks...thought they could have been better with just a tad more lightin...but in the shade you take what you can get...

They look pretty darn good to me! Some times, you can get better results in the shade as the camera does not have to deal with high contrast areas. The image is more uniform.
