Nice! My favorite of those three. Long exposure, right?
Here's a long exposure (30s) using a Pentax-F 50mm F/1.7 with a welding glass filter:
Whoa ...a daddy long legs/harvestman!!?? I never imagined they would look that creepy from a magnified perspective and they were everywhere when I lived in S. California...that is what is great about macros, much like microscopes it truly is a window into another dimension.
The other night this guy came wandering into the kitchen while my wife was cooking and I was upstairs. Needless to say my wife's very enthusiastic shouting alerted me to this situation and I ran downstairs to apprehend the offending invader
. Its a "southern house spider" and although they are quite large (this one was about 5cm) they are harmless and rather shy...but try telling that to a startled and freaked out wife. She also didn't buy that perhaps he came in to investigate what was smelling so good
Regarding the 15mm, indeed it is a long exposure...20 seconds if I remember correctly and thanks btw. Here are a few from Wheedon Island Preserve...its pretty much all mangroves there.
15mm
70mm
