In the words of Willow from Buffy, "... What do they need all those legs for, anyway?!"Awwww, c'mon. They don't bite. Much.
But Lucas the Spider on YouTube is the cutest thing ever!!

Very good backlit and well exposed shot!!!! Not for those with arachnophobia !!!
For wolf spiders, you don't have to worry about their bite as much as whether or not they have babies on their back. Step on one with babies and you have 1000 little ones scattering all over your floor.Awwww, c'mon. They don't bite. Much.
I'm guessing Mr. Black Widow might beg to differ.Awwww, c'mon. They don't bite. Much.
Personally, when I want multiple subjects to be in focus, I set the dial to Av, which gives priority to aperture size. A higher f number gives a greater depth of field, resulting in a sharper image, front to back. You may have to fiddle with the ISO setting to get what you want.I'm guessing Mr. Black Widow might beg to differ.
Here's one of my Hostas in the evening sun.

Question from someone, aka me, with the seemingly inability to grasp the concept of photography techniques.
In the above pic, would there have been any way to make the flower in for forefront, and the one behind it both be in focus?

Even though I live in Ohio I never go up to the Great Lakes because I have no reason to. I didn't know they still had the big freighters on the Great Lakes. I remember when the iron ore freighter the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the 70's. It got national notoriety because of the Gordon Lightfoot song.We went up to Lake Ontario today, and while there got these shots:
Eastbound freighter. I figure that it was about 9 or 10 miles away from me
It's less than 20 miles from our house to the lake, so it is no big deal to go there. As for the ships, what with the St. Lawrence Seaway and the enlarged Welland Canal, ocean-going freighters and warships can go all the way to Duluth. That is how we got such invasives as zebra mussels and the round-headed goby- in the ballast water pumped out of foreign ships coming in to pick up loads.Even though I live in Ohio I never go up to the Great Lakes because I have no reason to.

Yes, Michele and I have been to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point Michigan and seen the ship's bell from the Fitzgerald displayed there. Great Lakes freighters, prior to the opening of the Seaway, carried iron ore, coal, grain, copper ore, lumber, and sand. Buffalo was a huge transloading port, from ship to rail, and the Seaway is what largely killed it.Ships like the Edmund Fitzgerald were strictly on the Great Lakes. They primarily carried iron ore to the steel mills.
Nice!HUGE Praying Mantis on our house. Been there all day.
