Thanks for the comments.

Actually learned that spiders eat their web while watching the video, I didnt realize that. Is this for certain spiders because Im always walking into webs?

A water droplet is magnifying the eyes quite a bit.

Great information to add to this thread. Thanks.

I actually like PS over ZS in some images. I found the workflow can make a difference. PS can do better but you may have to refine in either program.

I liken the lichen best :-)

Rik,

How clear was the tablet screen & image detail when used outside?

There is a heap of wires as you mentioned. It would be nicer if it all were wireless.

This is something different. They are of 1000’s of gnats (no-see-ums) swarming.
