We had this kind this summer too. I had never seen those before.

Jamdiver:Thanks Marc, you still thinking about the dslr?
Scheck love your topside stuff, you're really shining with that SD700...
A continuation in my wasp series..
Peek-a-boo
Thanks so much Jam for the positive feedback. It's amazing what that little camera is capable of!
BTW I love your latest wasp (well not the insect per se but the photo is great!).

That's the first lens that I plan on getting. That and the 50mm f/1.8. Good to know
I still haven't decided on the camera body yet (30D vs Xti). Probably go with the Xti since it's significantly cheaper and has identical image quality. For the cost difference, I could get another lens or a flash.

Eric, we have those all over the place, down here in Tennessee. They are pretty dramatic looking! Usually, in nature, such striking coloration means that the creature is poisonous. I don't know if those spiders are, or not, but I'll bet they have a painful bite, because they get BIG!
I use the 17-70 for most of my shooting - both topside and UW. It's very versatile, and produces nice sharp images for a good price. I also have a Nikon 70-300 that I use for hikes, etc.
For the diving that I do... I prefer having the zoom. I frequently use the full range of the zoom on an average dive. I would feel restricted if I went for pure macro or for pure wide angle (fixed lens).

That's a Garden Spider. They are't poisonous, but they are impressive.

"Sky on fire", check out the plane in the upper left corner, gives a nice sense of scale I think.
The pic is clickable..
