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.
Very nice shots. I love to pose on the first one. Such great animals
ReplyDeletethanks! Sometimes it really cracks me up how they just HAVE to know what's going on :-)
ReplyDeleteThey have a similar illusory personality as stomatopods. It's all in the eye and head movements.
