The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it. :cool:

Must have something to do with all those neon lights around Vegas ?. Another great shot.

Super image here love the colors and the composition, but it looks like one more little pass on the usm would bring up the sharpness just enough to get all the details showing.

Great shot, I took some takes last weekend that I still have to process of what I believe is the same spider. The one I got shots of was quite white though. If they can live in the heat of Las Vegas and survive the winters here they gotta be tough.
