Patiently Waiting (for a pizza?)

in Photography Lovers3 years ago (edited)

When walking around and looking for photo opportunities, the small things often go by unnoticed

I always love going out into nature or the city with my camera and see what happens. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes a lot! But in photography you definitely have to stay aware and alert; otherwise you'll miss the best shots!

This patient spider was hanging next to a frequented path, but it was hard to spot. Although it was actually really big - maybe 2 or 3 cm (which is a size that Australians or other more exotic countries would probably laugh at). Luckily it was just at my eye level so I managed to spot it out of the corner of my eye (and luckily for me that we didn't come face to face too close, yikes!).

If you look closely you can see the weight of the insect pulling down on its web. I kind of forgot that they don't just levitate there, but of course they walk on their finely spun and deadly strings.

I mean it doesn't seem like such a bad life. You wait until your food comes to you. No painful grocery shopping required. It would be as if we would live on delivery, which is actually not that unbelievable in our current times.

Maybe, just maybe we will start to develop spider like life styles if these lockdowns countinue for much longer. In fact, I feel like a spider quite often! I am sitting myself on a chair immersed in the (inter)web; browsing and waiting for things to come to me - like that pizza I just ordered online.

Perhaps, we aren't that different.

amazing photography sir. 🙏

oh, you're absolutely right, we sometimes don't notice completely amazing things. If you watch the spiders, then you can get stuck on this activity for a long time, they hunt interestingly, make cobwebs, and in principle they live interestingly.
