MACROPHOTOGRAPHY - PHIDIPPUS AUDAX : BOLD JUMPING SPIDER
These are some crazy cool little spiders.
Since we've moved to Arkansas, we've seen a lot of these. Our favorite part about them is their iridescent blue-green chelicerae. Now that I've purchased a macrophotography lens under the guidance of @winstonwolfe, I'll be able to get some closer photos of the creatures that I've been encountering. I'm still figuring things out, but here's a few close-ups for you to enjoy. I like to call this guy "Bluebeard!"
BOLD JUMPING SPIDER
By way of comparison, here is a photo of me trying to get the same shots with my other lens. Obviously, I really like the macro lens!

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
When I was much younger I used to collect jumping spiders! Much to the delight of my mother and siblings of course. I like that this little one has mismatched eye colour.
Amazing creature. Sharp lens you've got there
Do they all have the eye color scheme one brown one black to dark blue?
They don't.
Nice one and i enjoy your post
coolio :)
very precise shot on the spider, I like
Hah, the turquoise mouth matches the current Steemit logo! Cool critter, good pictures.
Good point man! Thanks for checking it out!
I'm wanting to purchase a new lease for my camera also. I am no professional, but want to begin learning how to use my SLR better. Where do I begin and how do I know which sense works best? I really just want to be able to capture memories with our kids... vacations, activities, sports etc.
Damm I thought the spider was much bigger after seeing the first pics!
What a zoom you have there!
WAY CLOSE!
excellent work you are doing with that camera dear friend @ papa-pepper
every time I am more excited about buying a camera similar to yours. congratulations for the good captures
I wish you a great day
