On Guard

Taken sometime during the summer of 2007, this is a crab spider (Misumena vatia) waiting for an unsuspecting bee or hoverfly to be tempted by the pollen fest that awaits inside this Ferdinand Pichard rose. Like Alium Rising this is a photo that I like very much.

Taken with a Nikon D200, Sigma 105mm macro lens, Sigma ring flash. 1/60 sec, f22 or higher

Alium Rising

© 2011 Shaun P Downey

I took this photo in 2007 not long after I bought my first macro lens and ring flash.  This is the head of an Alium not long before it sprung into bloom. The skin tells you that this is a not too distant cousin of the onion

Taken with A Nikon D50, Sigma 105mm Macro Lens, Sigma Ring  Flash at 1/60Sec, F22 or perhaps higher, I forget. I don't usually record this sort of technical info!
