There is a story that goes with these photos, but I'm too sick and tired to write it just now. I spent all of my energy just uploading these and stuff. I'll fix this text later...
Some of these are with UV and IR bandpass filters, and others are my experiments with polarizers and quarter, half, and full-wave plates. (Unfortunately, biological material is much less birefringent than I had hoped.)

Oh yeah, and spiders too.

*hugs* Hope you feel better soon. I'm going to go lie down soon myself.

I can see the tripod reflected twice in one of the water droplet photos. And that spider is hairier than Smash... :D

Beautiful! I love the colors on the dandelion fluff and the spittlebug eggs. Very pretty.

Except for the spider parts. I had to scroll past those pretty fast. Looks like my arachnophobia is coming back, eek.

Love the spiders, and seeds. Am not happy to hear you felt sick. You know how much I look forward to seeing you in December? The 25th for sure and any days on either side of that you can be here too.

Good stuff. The teasingly-cropped pillbug picture gives me an oddly pornographic impression. "If you wanna see my hot, hot uropods, and watch me take fat pedipalps up the telsen, become a member now!"

They wouldn't stand still. It was like they had some kind of psychic sense to know when I was about to take a picture of one. A typical routine was:
  • Pillbug standing still for a minute
  • Me pointing camera at it, and trying to focus with like a 1mm depth of field
  • Me pressing shutter release
  • Pillbug running out of frame
  • Me getting photo of the ground, maybe a pillbug butt

Did you try getting them drunk? Isopods are notorious for their weakness to an open bar.

Have you seen the pics of the *giant* pillbugs they found in the deep ocean a few years back? They look like alien invaders or something.

One of *those* in the garden would scare anybody. :-)
