Re: [ID?] Real or Fake

Not a photo expert by any means but it looks like a garden spider to me.

Well, the poll is a bit misleading. You have Yes and No as options, but which is for real and which is for fake? My guess is fake. I'll leave my reasoning until after the answer is revealed.

Sorry for the confusion everyone. I'm simply asking, are these pictures real? (were they manipulated/edited in any way) I'll post the answer in a bit:)

My guess is fake. The exposure data (1/21th) is exactly the same for 2 different perspectives. Also, the spider doesn't appear to be hanging from the same point.

Re: [ID?] Real?

There's no reason they couldn't be real, and I can't see why anyone would want to fake such photos (there's nothing extraordinary about them) so I'll vote real.

I say no - the spider's leg positions seem to be the same.

These pictures are actually real. I was walking to my car after class and saw her spinning her web from a stop sign to a bush near by... was amazing. Its funny because you look at the pictures and it does look somewhat fake but it really isn't. Thanks for playing everyone.

Re: [ID?] Real?

The only reason I said fake was because of the same reason DownTheShore See Profile gave; the legs were in the same exact position. I figured it was a Halloween prop and not a real spider.
