, 1/100 f/5.6, ISO 160, hand held.

Tubi di prolunga da 10mm e 16mm. Fotografato in Sicilia, Cyrtophora citricola, chiamato anche "ragno ingegnere" per la sua complessa ragnatela a cupola, è una rara specie gregaria tra gli Araneidi, capace di vivere in colonie compatte. Originario di regioni calde come Africa e Asia sud-occidentale, è protagonista di un fenomeno di espansione relativamente recente e ben documentato negli ultimi 10-15 anni, con segnalazioni sempre più frequenti in Spagna, Grecia e Sud Italia. In Sicilia si adatta con facilità al clima favorevole e agli ambienti antropizzati.

Not a bad free hand considering not only the difficulty of the free hand, but also with the addition of the problem given by the tubes.

Thank you very much Pigi, your opinions are always valuable! Free hand and pipes together do not help, but it went better than expected :-D
