“Mr. Spike”

Acknowledgment: This one is for you Mr. Forns. When you come back from your IPT, lets get together to do some macro creepy crawlers, and bugs...:D

This little guy was so curious, that he let me come up real close and just stayed there looking at me. He was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 200mm f/4 IF-ED macro lens with a double stack combination of Nikkor 20 and 36mm extension tubes.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 200mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/250sec. - f/40 / exposure comp @ -1.7EV / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to ¼ lumen burst with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - monopod assist.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
