Spiders, spiders.. everywhere!

Sitting down to read the Sunday Times yesterday what crawls out from underneath the paper? *shudder* Any sane person would get something to either trap or kill the spider but I grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos!
FWIW, when I was finished I trapped the spider and released it into the garden. It’s bad luck to kill a spider isn’t it?

No. 10000

I didn’t let up much after taking over 6,500 photos last year I’m already over halfway there this year. The photo below is the 10,000th photo to be taken with my Sony F717. It’s rather unremarkable except that I learnt a lot today about using the histogram, and the GIMP distort tool is very handy for correcting uneven horizons!
More to follow, maybe.

Purely by coincidence, someone asked on STF about the lifespan of a 717 camera. It looks like there’s plenty of life left in mine!
