Hello, I am new to photography and digital photography and recently received a Kodak c643 as a birthday present.

Here is one of the photo's my fiance took recently while we we're learning the capabilities of my camera.

I hope to someday buy something a little more advanced but have been happy thus far with the camera

So my sis woke me up this morning "Cory, come look at this spider, it's friggin' huge!" My initial response was HELL NO! but then i remember my new S3 and thought PHOTO OP! So i ran to the window, camera in hand and there she was.. nice Writing Spider..

here's a tighter crop of the first one- wanted to see more of the detail on the spider.

Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any tips anyone has would be awesome, as the spider is still there.. i'd like to try more photos... Hope you guys enjoy!

Hi downtrodden, that is a garden spider, Argiope aurantia. Good shots! As it happens, I saw one too the other day:

And from the other side:

After the spider, I saw this back-lit dragon fly:
