Meet Eric, the tiny crab (And other random photos)[SX40]

Hi, today i've gone to the coast for some photos but the weather was really crappy, but the highlight of the day was this tiny friend i made, i called him Eric, because reasons.

These are also the first photos i've taken since i installed the chdk and forced the "Super Fine" option, but the lighting was terrible because of the overcast weather so.... meh.

A nice collection of pictures Biff.

The last one is my favourite.

As usual Biff, you have posted some beautiful photos, I like them all.

Great shot of Erick, I really like the stone with the hole in it, and especially the closeup of the shells.

Well done, thanks for posting these.

Mediocre light or no, you've still come up with a batch of interesting photos. I really like the stone with the hole in it. I didn't know there are crabs that small, is this a very young one or is the species that tiny?

Thanks guys

i don't really know about the crab, i believe it's a baby crab but it could be an adult for all i know :\

He was really friendly and calm anyway, let me pick him up, actually pressed the shutter button with the same hand i was holding him with (awkward camera holding technique but it worked in the end), and when i put him back near the rocks where i found him he just calmly walked away to hide.
