SOUTH PADRE ISLAND CRAB MACRO-PHOTOGRAPHY – Volume 1

in #photography7 years ago

These fast little guys are about as hard to photograph as lizards!


While everyone was wondering where @papa-pepper was and why he hadn’t posted the Option Comments for the last round of the STEEM-Pocalypse Survival Game, he was off with some @little-peppers enjoying one last day at South Padre Island in Texas since we have to head back towards home in Arkansas tomorrow.

I love travelling and exploring anyway, but checking out the ocean is near the top of my favorite travel destinations. On South Padre Island, we found this interesting looking crab at the edge of the water. I thought, “This guy has some crazy yellow eyes and some beautiful claws, I wonder if I can get a few good shots of him.” Sure enough, I did get a few.

We did find a few other species of interesting crabs. I’ll be sorting through them and sharing any that I find to be worthwhile over the next bit. Days like this make me wish that I lived closer to the ocean, because it is always an adventure full of interesting creatures.


As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

If you lived by the beach you would miss all your wiggly friends, and all the others you have made stars off.
Also getting sand in the wrong place is a pain in the ****
