COME INTO MY PARLOR

'Come into my parlor' the spider said.....

01 ~ And the spider hooked and grabbed the helpless trapped fly off the web fiercely.....

02 ~ So fierce that the web ripped. And it immediately injected its venom and the fly was paralysed.... 

03 ~ And it quickly carried its 'lunch' across the web.....

04 ~ All the while holding the poor fly tightly....

05 ~ Carefully treading along the silky trap.....

06~ Ensuring to step only on the non sticky parts.....

07 ~ Then I quickly went to the other side of the web....

08 ~ To try to get better shots....  

09 ~ For good effect I focussed on the delicate web..... 

10 ~ And then the spider started to do its wrapping......

11 ~ Cocooning the unconscious fly.... 

12 ~ Dangling, swinging and twisting expertly....

13 ~ And finally admiring a job well done. Once the fly's inside liquefies, it'll have its nutritious drink.... 

14 ~ Here's one final shot :)

MACRO SHOTS

These were from my visit to Ampang Recreational Park, like almost a month ago, which I think worth posting :). Some photos were already posted earlier.

Kalau pegi park tu, saya mesti take this shot, everytime :)

'Leading-the-eye' photography. Jadi tak? :).

Alhamdulillah... serangga ni dok diam je. Sangat co-orperative :).

Syok sangat dia basking kot sampai tak kisah saya ambik gambar dia dekat2 :).

Rama-rama sekor ni tersangat amat aktif. Tak dok diam langsung. Ada la dia landing kat one spot 2 ke 3 saat je each time. Drove me crazy!! Hehehehe..

Nak dapat shot ni lagi la siksa. Nak shoot patung-patung ni tengah havoring/flying in mid air and trying to get a sharp image. Berpeluh-peluh. Dah le tak bawah tripod dan shot hand held. On top of that lens 70-300 mm tu bukannya ringan. Apa-apa pun syukur dapat juga a few shots yang kira ok la :).

Saya noticed spesis ni yang paling common. Still ekor [abdominal segment] yang bright red tu very attractive.

Usually I do not shoot flies. But these were looking pretty 'engaged' with each other. So that's kinda interesting :).

Rarely do I get to see and shot the blue ones. Pretty little creatures :).

I remembered having lower back ache after shooting this one.. hahaha. Age is indeed catching up :).

MORNING WALK

A wonderful morning walk it was. At, where else, di Taman Rimba Ampang lah :).

Walau pun dah banyak kali ke sana, tapi saya tak pernah bosan.

Kerana begitulah keindahan ciptaanNya.

Kagumilah akan KebesaranNya.

Dan saya sangat bersyukur kerana diberi rezeki memiliki kamera dan lensa ini. Membolehkan saya melihat kehebatan ciptaanNya secara macro, secara halus, apa yang tak mampu saya lihat dengan mata kasar.

SubhanAllah.....
