It’s 9 weeks since the #macrophotography #FridayPhoto series began so means we're at the end with this 9/9 image. I can't quite get over how something so mundane looks so beautiful closeup. Any guesses?

I can’t quite believe it’s time for the #fridayphoto again already, nor that we're already up to the 8th of 9 shots in the #macrophotography series, but here we are.

So any ideas what we have this week?

6/9 of the #macrophotography #FridayPhoto series is this shot. I think this is an easy one, but guess these things are easy when you know the answer. Any guesses what this is a small part of?

5/9 in the #FridayPhoto #macrophotography series and there's nothing to guess in this one, just a photo beside my front door of a spider enjoying dinner. This guy was less than a centimetre long but looks quite intimidating here. I hope I didn't make you jump as you scrolled

4/9 of the #macrophotography #FridayPhoto is another macro quiz to get you guessing. No clues, just dive in 😉

2/9 on the #macro #fridayPhoto is this garden of tiny green tulips. They're not tulips, but they are known as florets (literally flower+ets) and they're very common but what are they?

2/9 of the #macrophotography #fridayPhoto series is this black and white image. Man has walked over it and some think of cheese when they see it, but what is it?

1/9 in the new #FridayPhoto series on the world of #macrophotography, kicking off with this curiously powerful shot. I’ll save the long commentary and leave you to guess what you think it is...

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

After a near 5 year hiatus, I’ve finally got around to posting on my blog again. After many years cruising with @pandocruises I thought it might be useful to pass on some tips for photographers going on a cruise... https://t.co/GIdnkITVkm #cruising #photography #tips

@Shanorme78 @Photobox @PhotoBox_Help My other favourite is the “70% off, plus an EXTRA 10% with this code”. That’s not 80% off, that’s 73% off (10% of the remaining 30% price is only 3%). Its not a false claim at least, but it is manipulative maths and tricked me the first time.

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

I’m so tired of @Photobox sending clickbait #crapads that are plain false. The number of times I’ve had to get @PhotoBox_Help to sort lies spun by marketing. I complain about it all the time but nothing ever changes. Where should I switch to for #photobooks, #calendars & #cards ?

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

@PopPhoto Oh no, not new lens lust... there’s something about Sony 1.8s. The 35, 85 and 135 are all fanatastic lens and seems this one might need to join my setup. Along with sigma 14mm, having all primes be f1.8 gives me a certain OCD satisfaction

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

@Photobox Thanks - Let me know how you get on. Would be good for someone to get a hold of this in marketing - needs to be some sort of governance to stop the shoot from the hip, click-bait, false advertising direct mail that gets sent all the time.

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

Can anyone recommend a photobook company they've used? Not for the first time I return to a draft @Photobox creation to find its lost a load of pages worth of work. Since I customise and annotate every page this is beyond annoying. Hate @Photobox

[Simon Tregidgo @TogTregidgo]

@blueballoo2000 have you seen Suliaman Al Fahim's wiki page recently? I remember your thorough investigative work well so it's a pity it's not mentioned https://t.co/dsF81McXNV
