Lollipop-
I've been quite busy recently with family as the indian new year has just gone, haven't really had the chance to take so many photo's here are a few recent shots, hope you like.

#1 - Spider Eat Spider World

I think the title explains the photo, but here's how I captured this shot.

Basically, I'm terrified of spiders, I hate them with a passion, I found a fairly big house spider, and got my younger brother to remove it, however he found another spider outside in its web, and thought it would be funny to see how the spiders react to each other, and basically, its the house spider thats all wrapped up.




Now, I'm even more terrified of them.

#2 - Parliment

This shot was taken in Westminsiter, London on my way back from uni, I'm actually quite happy with it, kinda gives a 'gloomy' / 'horror' feel to it.. Or is it just me? Hope you like it.



#3 - London. The Eye

Also taken in Westminister, I dont normally take black and white shots. I though this one turned out quite well.



Hope you like them, all comments welcome.

Wow! These are really good.
I especially like that God's Eye over Westminster.
And seriously, how do you have the guts to go that close to a spider?

Thanks for the comment mate, and believe me, I cant believe I was able to take that shot... Was scary, just didn't make any sudden movements, its okay if they're still... But when they start moving, I crap myself... I always say 'If its faster than you, its a threat' LOL

Thanks again.

Very nice job! Specialy the last shot... Although (as usual to me) i will point out one bad thing: remove that bird from the shot and then the shot would be perfect!:)

Anout that Westminister, was it? If you have raw files of it, try making it also in HDR so that the details of the building will come out too... Just for fun and myabe the shot would then be even better!

Good joob mate! smile.gif

Thanks for the comment mate..
You're the first person thats said to get rid of the bird, not just on here, but a lot of other people love the fact I captured the bird.

And, yeah I'll be sure to work on a HDR version of the shot, when I get the time.

Thank you for your feedback, always helps.

OMG! nice shot! love it! biggrin.gif Is that bird real? Nice timing!

Canen Art
You've done a nice job on taking these photos.

On the first photo it's hard to tell what kind of spider it is, but I'm guessing a cat face spider. They are good to keep around, because they eat hobo spiders. I've photographed a few. They are really neat.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

Best Regards,

Yeh that second one turned out real nice, Have you done anything to them yet in photoshop?
Lollipop-
Wow, its been while since I've posted on here. I've been busy with uni and a few other things, thank you everyone for you comments, they mean a lot, and I'll be sure to post up some new work when I get the chance.

Frauenhandys - Yes the bird is real, and I didn't actually know the bird was in the photo until I got home, I took quite a few shots from that spot, and as I went thru them at home I came across it, it then became an instant favourite of mine.

Canen Art - Thank You for your kind words.


SatanicPenguins - I don'r really use photoshop to edit my photo's I use another Adobe product called Lightroom, its designed for photo enhancement/editing, if your a photographer, I highly recommend this software, you can download a 30 day trial from the Adobe website.
