Bokeh & The Spider

Bokeh & The Spider by Lisa Bettany {Mostly Lisa}.
I rented the Canon 100mm Macro f/2.8 last weekend and it was cold and rainy and I was having a creative block, so I didn’t use the lens at all.

45 mins before I had to return the lens, I popped outside and ran into this guy and a lovely background of fall leaves. And bam! Bokeh madness.

*explored -- Nov 14, 2008* :D

you know you are a photographer when you see a spider and instead of running, you pull out the camera. :) Here is one I ran into on the way out my front door.

I really hate spiders but I faved this instantly. That should tell you how stunning it is. The colour and detail are simply outstanding. A real eye-catcher!
