for the squeamish, don't look.Oh too late.It's just a harmless' little' spider.Well actually this ones nearer the nine inch mark! Its from India and is called Poecilotheria striata.This is a stock photo for image banks.I have been practising a bit recently with my small items photography-the idea is that these can be used for  advertising images.So expect to see a few more small items.no more spiders though.Promise.

I picked up these tomatoes in the week for a nice salad, I thought they just looked too good to eat, just yet, so had a little photo shoot with them.I used a wide open aperture of f.2.8 and my canon 24-70 f2.8 L  lens, L series canon glass for hair splitting sharpness.The wide open aperture has lent well to the 'creative'shallow depth of field I was after.
