A rare situation

Emergency New Wallpaper Tuesday

without comments

We interrupt this regularly scheduled week of the same wallpaper to post a picture that I took of a spider on its web that was on my porch. Now, ordinarily I hate spiders with a passion that outburns the fiery hearts of a thousand suns, but this guy was just hanging out and I realized that I could use him to figure out how to manually set the focal length on my camera. It turns out that my camera’s manual focus settings might be a little stupid — I can guaruntee that I was not 90cm away from the spider when I took this shot, although that’s how it focused…maybe it meant 90mm — but I think it came out alright for a first attempt.

Spider

Click for high-res (and I mean high-res). You can see parts of the spider that would make an entymologist blush.
