Spider vs Scorpion - Marco War Photography

Nature is harsh.

I came across the "epic" battle of a small spider taking on a scorpion at my parents house. It was happening on the back door. Not to look a opportunity like this pass me by, I grabbed the macro lens and photographed the battle until the victor was declared.

The amazing thing was how the spider disabled the scorpion. As you can see in the above photo, it wrapped up the stinger before anything else.  By the end, the spider actually pulled the stinger over the scorpion to make the whole thing look like a loop. It then went back up it's web to rest (as far as I could tell).

Vic/Tas Tournament Slideshow

Late last year Skate Victoria approached me to licence some of my derby photography for their new website. Their new website has now launched at www.skatevictoria.com.au

We also made up a slideshow video using images we shot at the Vic/Tas Roller Derby Tournament 2013 for them. This featured nearly all the leagues that competed.

Thanks to Skate Victoria.

Featured - A Second Place

I have been entering the Roller Derby Photo contest each month of 2013. The judging takes a while and today the November 2013 results where announced. I picked up a second place in the feature category with a shot from VRDL finals.
