At last I have a camera with a decent macro lens:
I thought I was doing OK with this shot – it’s a bit noisy (a shortage of light on the kitchen bench) but then I didn’t realise that the camera’s default compression setting was pretty severe. The “1” is one centimetre, and there’s one millimetre between each of the large gradations.
Hopefully by summer, I should know enough about how to work the damn thing. And no spider shall be safe.
My name is Alan Macdougall, and this is my website. There's more about me here, if you really want to get carried away about it.
On the other hand, there's a whole lot of my favourite recent links of interest, photos I've taken, and other stuff over on the Elsewhere page, and there's always the site archives over in Bygones for additional excitement.
But probably you just want to find something specific (why else would you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, right?), so here's the search box instead.

Oh great. I can’t wait to see the large fangs of an arachnid, just to help me sleep at night…..all eight little eyes looking at me, ready to feast on my blood…..post away Alan and I shall post a photo of me torturing an iPod with a 9 volt battery.

Hmmm, well, I’m far from the only one to use Flickr to document personal obsessions …

Touché. She might get suspicious when she turns up at my party…..
