Some pictures using 40+ year old equipment with a bit of help from modern software.

Picture 0028 shows a vine growing up something. That is a strand of spider web. Those webs are so strong.. they just don't break.

Are they your photos!? You've improved if they are.

Are they the same big spiders that we get in Taiwan? Looks similar.

They are mine indeed. I cleaned them up a little with software, (underexposed), but the lens and good film did the rest of the work. You can get your face right up to the spiders and lizards here. No, not the same as those huge web builders in Taiwan. These are a bit smaller, but man do they build enormous webs. I'm talking between trees that are 25 feet apart.

More to come. I just picked up an OK tripod today, so once the weather cools down enough to sit outside and have a coffee or beer during daylight hours, I'm going to give the telephoto a spin. I'll be going for birds.
