Neuroethology poster


Just got my posters printed, I decided to go landscape this time - the photo with the curious spider was just too tempting. Here is the one for the Gordon Neuroethology conference in mid-August. Five awesome sciency weeks start on sunday!

Gearing up for conferences

These are the last weeks before my next conference trip, and I'm busy making posters for Behavior '11 and the Gordon Neuroethology meeting. I'm very excited! This week I found some time to take a few new photos of my spiders with the GF-1. I really love this camera, but was a bit unsure about shooting macro with it ... my current setup with a telephoto lens and a clip-on raynox macro converter works okay, but it's extremely hard to get good shots at higher magification. Definitely useable as poster eye candy though :-) But the next investment will definitely be a proper macro lens + flash.
