That is the Australian version of Nephila I was talking about in my picture with cicadas. Not sure of the exact species. Edulis is your common one, but that guy has distinctly black legs as opposed to the occasional stripe. Abdomen colouration a bit different too, one thing I have noticed with their colouration is it fades with age.

The small spider next to the large female is the male. He is a parasite within her web, one female may have several male parasites in her web. Size dimorphism (body difference within same sp) clearly visible in all species of nephila.

Common name: Golden Silk Orb Weaver.

Can you get a zoomed picture in of just a female? Spider will not leap out at you or anything and they are all over the place in Korea right now(will post a few when they grow a bit more)...no idea about Aus possibly not due to seasons if you are in non-tropical part.

Wow, that second photo is amazing mate! Love it!

Just goes to show, that the camera really does not matter, if you know how to take a good photo, you can take a great photo. :)

Nice, last time I went for a hit of golf, I saw a double rainbow, unfortunately I didn't have my camera, only my iPhone, and I was unable to capture any amount of either rainbow. =(

Yep good pix man, lots of nice relaxing lighting. Particularly like the amber light on the carvings.

I like the photo, foR, just not sure if I like the vignetting. Maybe a bit to dark.

Cheers Rii, :) It's hard when your out there, reviewing the photo's on the camera isn't the best on the little screen so a lot of them are a little over exposed especially with white cars there is almost no detail in them :( Also I could have upped the shutter speed.

All in all though i'm happy with the few good shots I got and shooting in RAW at least lets me tweak them a little without substituting quality :)

Those are cool...you should be proud!

Try a plate of milk with a few drops of food colouring. don't mix it up, then add a couple of drops ( no more) of detergent. Observe!

Took this down at Sumner the other day. Just happened to have my camera on my seat next to me in the car while at the lights in Redcliffs and just whacked a few shots off.
