I followed this jumping spider through the grasses and ferns of our front field for quite some time before I could get this shot.
Nikon D600, Sigma 105mm lens, ISO 1250, f/11, 1/800″ exposure.

Thanks Victor! Not an easy subject to capture as it was always on the move!

I know that happens with many but often their curiosity gets the better of them and they pose for a short while:)

Thanks Eden! Bug hunting is a practice in patience… And a challenge for eyesight as well…

I tried to photograph a jumping spider of some sort once. Got a nice shot of it stuck to my camera lens. That photo session ended with me throwing the camera on the ground and me running away squealing haha. Fortunately no harm came to the camera.

That’s a great story Eden! You do indeed need to get pretty close to your subjects sometimes. That’s one of the reasons I love my 105mm macro—close but with some reach…!
