Default a witness to a murder...

i was taking shots of the huge banana spider and i wanted to get different angles of it. i poked at it and it jumped off its web onto my deck. no sooner than it hit the deck this lizard came flying out of a potted plant and thats when i witnessed the murder of a banana spider.

Great set to tell the story, wonderful first shot. But it seems you aided in a murder. LOL

thats is - you win photography! thats the coolest sequence of shots i've seen on these forums hands down. i'll just pack up my gear now and get my coat

seriously though, the images are very well captured and look great.

i wish the lizards in the garden in my appartments were this big - we got tiny little things who get eaten by the spiders... I so wish it was the other way round being an englishman living in australia who is not quite accustomed to having poisonous arachnids living outside my front door.

Excellent job of capturing an unfortunate set of events. I'm sure you will soon be served with a subpoena since you are in possession of clear photographic evidence of a murder. I'm sure that with enough money you can get a clever enough lawyer to clear you of conspiracy
