Spider Food
Taken in my garden yesterday evening - A quick catch of a spider tucking in to an unfortunate bug that managed to get itself caught up in the web.

Painting the Darkness
When looking at Google Analytics recently I noticed that I've been getting a lot of hits on my various light painting posts.
With this in mind and having just completed soldering up my new and improved LED ring light I thought I'd revisit this popular topic by playing around with a few shots.
I started simply by rolling the LED ring light along my bed.
This created quite a cool geometric pattern so I then started to play around a bit more.
Followed by going along the floor, up the wall and across the ceiling!
Then I ran out of ideas!!
I think I will revisit this but am thinking of getting hold of (or making) a wheel with LEDs attached as rolling the ring light along smoothly is pretty difficult. Anyway...watch this space.
By the way, if you fancy trying out some light painting and your camera has manual settings then you don't need to make anything. As I've shown before in this post you can just use a phone as your light source or any old torch etc. Below is a quick shot that I took using my iPhone.
As usual, click on the images to enlarge.

Macro Drive
More experimentation with the Macro Lens Adapters.
I really like the depth of field in this close up picture of an external hard drive.

Lonely Little Tree
Just looking through some old memory cards and found this shot on one of them.
The tree looks a bit lonely sat on the top of a hill all alone!

Foxy Lady
I went to a friends place in Weybridge at the weekend and had heard beforehand that they had a fox which frequented their garden - so much so that they've named it Stella! So I took along a camera to see if I could get a couple of snaps of the foxy lady!
I have only seen a couple of foxes close up and it's generally just a glimpse as they dart off so was surprised about how close this one was happy to get to us all as we sat in the garden and enjoyed a few drinks.
Foxes (especially urban ones) have had a lot of bad press in England recently but I for one like the furry little critters!
