I purchased my first digital camera 24 years ago in 1997. It was a Sony Mavica FD7, a horrible camera, with floppy discs for recording 640×480 pixel jpegs, and an uncontrollable flash that ruined every photo if you tried to use it.
This spider was hanging out in my backyard. I was curious as to what species it, so I did some searching and identified it asLeucauge venustaor an Orchard Orb Weaver. It is very small… but I got a pretty good shot of it with my old Nikon 28 – 105 lens.
I took this photo in front of a window in my kitchen, using the snow in my backyard as a background. The backlighting created a little bit of an x-ray effect that I tried to catch.
