Creepy-crawlies, snakes & spiders

[Harold]

I today’s world of concern for the environment and being “Eco-friendly” it amazes me that there is still this paranoid fear of ‘creepy crawlies, snakes and spiders’.

The immediate reaction is 'KILL IT!'

Where has the conservation ethic gone?

Take a little time to find about more about the ‘creepy crawly’ you want to cull – you could be surprised at what you find out!

[Toyfan]

Yes, feel the same way. I suggest that a another section be added for this topic. It should be a database of crawlies encoutered
locally. What you think Harold?

If it has eight legs and running towards me,it is going to die

I think goggas are too cool - especially to take pictures of...


I took these a month or so ago - difficult because the little sods don't want to sit still :problem:

Great pics - what camera. lens?

[Dodging]

Nikon D60 with a Sigma 70-300mm zoom. The only redeeming feature of that lens is the fact that it has a Macro function between 200 and 300mm focal length

A full moon last night ...... taken with a standard lens (18 -55 .... no macro) and without a tripod, hand held with the ISO set at 600 and aperture wide open. Probably why it's grainy. Cropping the pic at almost full resolution doesn't help either. Any tips from the pro's?

This little bugger was the only one that didn't scatter but he didn't want to stay still for too long either. What I found interesting is that he seemed to change colour when he moved to the grey shadow .... might have just been a trick of the light. Similar picture set up as used above.

Taking pics of the moon is difficult, so I'm the wrong guy to ask

Here's another interesting gecko pic ..... must have lost his tail but is now growing three new ones.

Ek hou ook van goggas en goed af neem. Ek sal more bietjie op my ou laptop kyk wat ek nog oor het nadat ek baie verloop het agv viruse. Oom Andy om die maan af te neem is ook van my groot passions, MAAR dit verg BAIE tyd en geduld! Ek het een aand amper 3ure met die tripod op my huis se dak gesit net om n mooi skoot te kry, dan blur ek , dan laat ek te veel lug in en die maan is te helder, dan weer dit, dan weer dat, maar het darem een mooi een gekry...wel ek dink dis mooi. My volgende is weerlig, dit fasineer my erg baie,maar ek gaan nie op die dak sit vir daai een nie. Ek post more fotos...as ek nog het.

Ek is nie n kenner nie maar die aand wat ek probeer het, het my maan soos oom Andy s'n gelyk as ek die shutter te lank oop gehad het.
