Regular readers will know that I often photograph pond creatures, both in situ in the wild (as in the above photo of a fen raft spider) and also using my photographic mini aquarium set up. I am also now running a workshop to show people how to photograph these interesting creatures, details on this and other workshops can be found here
I thought I’d post a selection of these photos here too.
First a ‘bog’ raft spider eating a bee that few to close while getting a drink, on a pond in Arne.
The following are all taken with my mini aquarium or my surface dweller set ups
