I previously posted some pictures of a spider I found which had apprehended a wasp in its web. I also took the opportunity to take some video. It was very up close with a very small depth of field, making the video a little shaky and blurry. I have tried a little to correct for this with some post processing.
Outside of the shoddy camera work its still rather impressive, if you are not arachnophobic.
The previous post was Lucky Spiders
While I was out this weekend, when I was out looking for small things to take pictures of I found some of the local wildlife which fit my photography goals nicely. I found some Orb -Weaver spiders, a common site in the pacific northwest, and was able to capture some pretty amazing photos of them.
This picture is less amazing when you realize how large the spider is
That spider is about the size of a quarter
More amazingly, two of the spiders I found were in the process of building their webs. I remembered that my camera has the ability to shoot video and was able to hold it decently still to answer a question I’ve always wondered: How do spiders build their webs?
