Memories and emotions
Daddy long legs standing on a piece of paper on the dinner table in my living room. The good thing about tiny creatures is that you don't need much to build a studio for them. On the other hand you must show a lot more patience since they tend to want to leave the studio the whole time. This one found time to clean his legs (which is why one of the legs is bent) and that gave me enough time to take this photo. I like the clean look and the lines created by the spiders legs. The depth of field is well balanced to blur out the legs in the back and the front.
This is probably the first good photo of animals in the wild. Taken in Scott Creek, Australia during my stay there. I heard that they had plenty of Cane toads in the area and that they were a pest. Since I worked mostly with gardening I came across quite a bunch of them. I was fortunate with this picture since I found the big toad in the background first. Realising that the hole he came out from was inhabited by several small toads I had to wait until some of them were in line with the big one to show the contrast of sizes. If I could change something in the picture I probably would think about removing the stick in front of the little toad. Unfortunately you don't have that much time working with untamed animals, even though they sit quite still unless you tease them.
