Went for a walk around Cremorne Point this morning, camera in hand. There are plenty of these guys and gals around at the moment - I always wonder how they know to build their webs high enough so people don’t walk into them … they are pretty smart really.

Quite proud of this shot (she says modestly) as it’s the best attempt at macro I’ve done so far. Very technical photography genre and hard to get right as I am learning ! I was very lucky with this shot as it was a bright sunny day, enough light that I could set the camera at a small (high number) aperture and still use a fast enough speed to shoot handheld. Generally with macro, I have learned, you do want to use a small aperture to get as much in focus as you can. I also did a couple of shots at f/2.8 (the other end of the spectrum) and they didn’t turn out well at all.
