“Sunset Silhouette” : Porto, 10th September 2011
When I took this photograph I didn’t think that it would turn out to be anything special, but now I come to process and publish it, it suddenly seems as though it’s one of my best. Strange how things sometimes turn out that way…

“Sunset Spider’s Web” : Hiroshima, 21st July 2010
This is one of those great photo opportunities that appears out of nowhere when you’re least expecting it.
I wasn’t in any exotic location, and I wasn’t doing anything exciting, I was merely bringing in the laundry from the yard when I noticed how the sinking sun was producing beautiful rainbow colours in the spider’s web.
I rushed in, unceremoniously dumped the washing in a heap on the floor, grabbed the Nikon and charged out again, lest the moment be lost.
Not only do we have the spider here, we also have what appears to be a grisly corpse, which looks to me like another arachnid. Could it be that this was one of those famous occasions when the female kills the male after mating?
