Macro Photography By Thomas Shahan

“How one of the most beautiful and interesting groups of animals on the planet can go unrecognized and unappreciated is beyond me,” he says.
Shahan is doing his part to change that. So far, he’s photographed thirty-six jumping spiders. His Flickr page also shows larger objects: the Milky Way galaxy, for example, and a scaly-looking slice of the moon.
Shahan is a connoisseur of cameras, and his captions note what type of equipment, including vintage lenses and macro extension tubes, he used for each shot. He leaves none of the settings to automation.
