Walking in central park with my Nikkor 200mm f/4. People around me were geeking out about birds. When I explained I was looking for spiders one lady asked "What does a spider call sound like? How do you find them if they don't make noise?"

Here is 4 more for the perfect number 8.
I will always remember each of these fuzzy buddies.

Hi my name is Reed and I'd like to talk to you about our 8 legged overlords. Spiders are by far my favorite photography subject. Each a frozen moment of a brief friendship with a wild animal.

A girl and her dog.
Becoming more familiar with other lighting modifiers.

I'm having a hard time believing it has been 5 years since I met Chet, a southern dwarf chameleon. We were both chilling on a park bench overlooking Bruces Beauties, in SA. He crawled on me for a few and then went on his way
Shot on my cell phone.

Moving to Manhattan has cut down on my spider photography. Here is one of my old L.A. roommates. His name is Hank. (Phidippus Audax)

Stuff from the other evening walking back from 32nd. Taking my camera for walks when I can't juggle is something.

Last night's Wedding was a beyond opulent. The budget was insane. I've made movies with half the amount. Bringing my Nikon 1AW1 with me means my phone stayed in my pocket all night.

This man understood the assignment. When someone in public points a camera at you on the street, look down the lens and make a face.

Another one I didn't hate. I need to get back to my sunrise schedule.

Up late looking at things from my new reacquisition. I'd call this "She isn't really into it" Honestly I prefer my 70-200mm, but the large 76mm or 82mm front element makes people notice you. the 67mm of this macro lens draws half the attention. I've been doing some proper macro, I'll post soon.

Another one I don't hate. Returning to my favorite lens for manual focus has a relearning curve. #wheelie #streetphotography #nikkor200mmf4 #TimesSquare #Manhattan #nikon
