After the unexpected success last night with the wood mouse<\/a>, I decided to have a proper go at photographing it on the ground. I set up the camera on the tripod, adjusted the flash and focus, retreated several yards and lined up the remote trigger. And waited. And waited…. <\/p>\n

After about an hour I had about 30 test shots all looking just like this one.

After which I gave up. I checked the site an hour or so later, and it was still untouched. I eventually turned my attention to the pond instead.<\/p>\n

Before coming inside to work out who I could tag (Eric<\/a> tagged me). Here are the rules,<\/p>\n

– Make a post with six random unimportant facts about yourself.
– Post the rules on your post.
– Tag 6 people to do the same thing, by commenting on their page with a link to your post.<\/p>\n

My six random unimportant facts<\/p>\n

I once fainted at the vet
I've never seen a Leonardo DiCaprio film
I've seen The Beatles live
I just stopped writing this to photograph a spider in the corner of the room
I took over 40,000 photos last year
I once owned a hamster<\/i><\/p>\n

Picking six untagged victims (apologies to all!) was rather more difficult! <\/p>\n

Karen<\/a>
Elke<\/a>
Andy<\/a>
Louis<\/a>
Derek<\/a>
Mickeyjoe<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, and here's the spider!<\/p>\n

Camera note: All photos taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens. I added a 31mm extension tube for the spider.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1026,1009,1],"tags":[114,1132,125],"class_list":["post-1058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-newt-amphibians-2","category-spiders-2","category-uncategorized","tag-newt","tag-spider","tag-tagged","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
