I will freely admit that apart from the odd wander with my
camera, I’m not the sort of person who relishes time in the outdoors, and I
fear almost anything with the ability to fly, sting or walk on 6 or more legs.
I went for a walk through our local nature reserve today,
but to a part that I don’t often visit. There is a small man-made pond in a
field on the outskirts of the reserve, which has a wooden platform at the edge.
I sat on the platform for a rest, watching the dragonflies and pond skaters,
before I noticed a small spider at the other end of the platform. I got about 4
inches away from it and managed to take this picture before it ran away.
Later, I increased the saturation in Photoshop and sharpened
the whole image. I’m really pleased with this picture (and only partly because
I managed to hold my nerve long enough to take it!). Maybe facing your fears is
good for photography too…
