    Default A Woodlouse and something I haven't a clue what it is

    Rather pleasant day after work today. I almost got a full on shot of a wasp which was sat on the fence. Got it in focus, was about to press the shutter button and it disappeared.. pff.

    However, I got a few more little beasties

    This woodlouse was about 8mm in length.

    1/200 @ F10, ISO 100. Flash diffused.


    ...and the other thing I don't know what is called. I think it's arachnid of sorts but doesn't seem to be a proper spider.. This was 5mm in length.

    1/200 @ F10, ISO 100. Flash diffused.

    Love the detail on the woodlouse, would have been nicer to get it all in frame though.

    The other beastie is a harvestman.

    Shame you msssed the arse of the woodlouse too Ian.

    Harvestmen can be hard work as they can be tall with the legs they grow.

    Colours look very warm on both. WB check?

    Cheers guys,

    The woodlouse was constantly moving and as you know, up that close and personal is a pain to keep it in focus and in frame .

    Yeah the colours are somewhat warm. I think my eyes must have become used to it last night as they didn't look so bad then. I used auto WB on the shot but I'll lower the colour temp later and replace the images.

    For now, ignore the warm glow
