And turtle that last black spider almost looks like a black widow.

It's a redback; same family as the black widow, and equally poisonous.

The redback has 3 diamonds (in some subspecies the 3 diamonds merge into a red strip) running down the top of her abdomen to her spinner, while a black widow has a red hourglass shaped mark on the underside of her abdomen.

How can I take a picture like this with my Kodac Easy Share c360?

Change it to this setting... this is macro.

Detecto got me thinking with one of his threads. Let's see the close-up or macro shots that you have taken. Doesn't have to be of jewelry or coins, although it sure can though. Here are a few of mine.

7 shot .22 revolver that I made the front sight for!

That's a nice revolver! What make is that?

"Spider with egg sack" - That's a freaging redback!! I didn't even know we had them in the united states!

And what kind of spider is that on the daisy? It looks like it may be a wolf spider, but I've never seen one with leg spikes!

They're all VERY nice photos, BTW. Thanks both for sharing AND for opening a thread like this, because some of these other posters have some really nice photos, too!

I thought at first it was a redback too, but I honestly think it is a Northern Black Widow. Some Nothern Black Widows have virtually identical markings as the Redback Spider. I guess at one point, there was arguements that they Widows with the back marking were the same species as the Redback Spider.

I am not sure what the other spider is. It is not a wolf spider. I see those on a daily basis. I looked it up once before and cannot find where I recorded the info.

A few from my collection ---

OUTSTANDING technical images!

Two questions:

1) What kind of camera?

2) How did you light them?

 

[pastorals]

Canon 50D w/ a Tamron 90mm Macro lens. Lighting with two 85W, 5100K flourescent lamps overhead at 2 o'clock and 10 o' clock.

Post processing in Corel PSP X3 (mostly sharpening and some color correction if needed)

Here is one it took tonight. My four year old found the mummified remains of a hatchling lizard that didn't make it. I didn't want to just toss it aside (I really do love reptiles). Here it is.
