Here are a few spider shots taken while camping at Crowdy Bay National Park Australia Day weekend.

As well as critiques on the images I'd be interested in comments on the watermark (is it subtle enough). These are the first images using a new workflow that uses Lightroom instead of PSCS . As a result (and some effort since LR doesn't do image borders!) I have a new watermark & framing batch process being called from LR after export to sharpen, watermark and caption my shots.

I'd be interested in thoughts on this first shot where I was going for a different perspective on the usual spider pic.




This is the fat fellow above just after catching a fly. They had a small spider on their back too so I'm guessing this is mu or dad

and from the back. This is also the image taken when Leon took the one posted in THIS thread

They are great, Peter. I love Nephila (that's the genus of the spider). The large ones are all females. The males are tiny. The smaller ones you saw could have been males or juveniles.

I think the watermarks look fine.

The second one is the best for me. The perspective is great and so is the background. The 3rd is pretty good to with a back lit view to it.

Those watermarks are very subtle Peter.
Nice pics too.

Excellent pics Mate
#1 & #2 my favs

Watermarks are fine i reckon

Cheers Cobby

All of them great, and well worth the time taken to capture

You'd think that guy in the last one could have gotten out of your way though

Great images Stubbsy, I love spiders, they are cool animals, and you've done them proud.

Very nice shots indeed. #2 is the winner for me.
