Default Hiding in the light

Good Morning DPS family! Here are the last of the Wetlands picks for this week.
I'll start with a macro shot, I just loved the light in this one, he kept moving around the other side of the plant as I would get set, but finally settled down so I could get the shot.

Hiding in the light!

Nice job Michael ......They are your typical great work but there is somthing about that 1st shot maybe its the sun sparkling off the silk or the pure backround or the light reflecting and highlighting the spider's face and legs...I guess its all of them and you do this type of work so consistently ..its not a matter of chance. Congratulations

Thank You Hayward! Sometimes I think I should drop the frames, but they are not to obtrusive and I like the fade out look.

Thank You Ty! You are so Kind my Friend, I read an article here a while back that talks about "Shooting the Light" I try to look more for that now.

Hi michael. This is an amazing set (again)! Your clarity is so unreal! What kinds of glass are you using in your gear, as I keep thinking that i need better glass. TFS.

Gorgeous set! They are all beautiful - I like how you have all your ducks in a row in the last one. But the first picture is stunning - I almost didn't see the spider

Damn work! It certainly gets in the way of great pictures! Loving all of these and can't really pick a favorite, but I'm partial to backlit fuzzy seed things.

Ah Michael, what a fitting title for the first shot, don't those spiders know they can't hide from you. LOL. I can see you are having lots of fun out in the wetlands and all its splendour.
