Living Under a Rock

Finally was able to give my new 100mm 2.8L lens a test drive yesterday/today. I love this lens! Sure beats the cheapie 18-55mm lens that came with my 350D.


I was looking for some subjects last night, and I hit pay dirt. I found all of the following subjects under 2 rocks. The snake and wolf spider were under the same rock!

Thanks! I still have a lot to learn with this lens! I'm still blown away at how sharp it is!


Here's another shot of a different spider that I found:

lovely portrait shot of the Wolf. Never been bitten by a spider, did it hurt?

Not really. I flung it before it had a real chance to inject me I guess. It surprised me a lot because I keep a lot of tarantulas and I've never been bit by one of them.
