Extinct species of insects in Ukraine. Stag beetle. A very rare phenomenon that I was once lucky enought to capture.

closeup photography of brown spider on spider web

10 years ago I got my first decent DSLR camera, and 9 years ago I bought my first flashgun and macro lens. While round at a friends house I decided to give them both a go on a spider I found in his garden. Even though this image is 9 years old, and you can see the limitations of the megapixel back then, I do really like this photo.
