Not an expert or professional by any means. It's just something I like to do as a hobby.

I mainly shoot landscapes/cityscapes/nightscapes. Occasionally, I also like to deviate into other forms of photography.

I'll periodically post a photo here and there.

I hope you all enjoy!

 

The lighting is excellent! I like how the brightly lit buildings are framed by the darker trees.

Always was interested in long exposure shots but never really tried them myself - looks cool, thanks for sharing GINNY!

Golden Silk Orb-Weaving Spider (Trichonephilia Clavipes)

Found in Southern USA and Mexico, these spiders are quite common. This particular spider was part of a massive cluster that lives among the high tops of giant cactus native to the mountainous sierras of central Mexico.  This female spider can grow as large as 2 inches without counting its legs (up to 5in. in total incl. the legs), and males about a quarter of an inch. They are mildly poisonous, but completely harmless if left alone.

 

NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'd never want to encounter that satanic creature IRL, but they sure are fascinating to look at. Great shot, Gin! But also i hate you bc spider

Haha

You mean you don't wanna deal with the snakes, scorpions, spiders, coyotes, and a plethora of other bugs that may or may not kill you?

 

Oh my... It's not THAT big!

Certainly not a tarantula.

Although, we do also have large spiders that just live on the walls. People usually leave them be because they are a form of pest control.

Gin these photos are spectacular!! I love how you play with exposure and lighting. What kind of camera and lens do you use? Me personally I love mirrorless bodies!

Thanks! I'm glad you like em'!

I'm a loyal Nikon DSLR user. I personally haven't used a mirrorless body before. By the time the mirrorless cameras started to make a 'scene' (pun intended) in the market, I had already had my taste in the heavy, durable body with the satisfying sound of the trigger of DSLRs. To this day, I very much still enjoy them. I also seldom use its video features, so the incredible video capabilities of the new mirrorless would go unused if I were to invest in one.

For lenses, I mainly use prime lenses - it means less interior pieces and moving parts, and a more steady and clear image.

I'd really like to see some of your work using a mirrorless someday!
