Hi all... sorry that I have not posted in a while... hope that you are well?
Here in South Africa... it is finally spring... with it comes rain... and heat... and then with it all abundant insect life.
This is an up close and personal with a beautiful jumper.
I have decided to photograph with my 5D Mk III... and I am enjoying the more natural colours and detail presented from this machine as to that of the 60D... used a different diffusing material for my tent (waxing paper from a beauty salon)
Super detail and amazing colours. Looks like you supplied him with some "eye lashes" from that beauty salon Jason
The image looks great as presented, I made a very soft quick mask of the upper yellow background and made a curves layer, I then pulled down the highlights a little bit. I think this helps concentrate attention on the spider - WDYT??
Super work, Jason. You nailed the comp--abdomen isn't cut, plenty of space in front of the jumper. Great job getting eyes, mandibles, front legs sharp!
Hi Jason. This is quite the portrait shot of this little jumper! You did a great job of getting the key elements (eyes and pedipalps) tack sharp - a challenge at 3X. I like the mix of orange/yellow colors and that we can see the mandibles. On my monitor, a lot of the white spots on the spider look a bit "bright." Having not seen this spider in the flesh, I don't know if they are really this white or if they received a little too much light from the flash? In either case, this is an outstanding image.
No need to create space aliens when we have things like this around! Even that bright orange color is other-worldly. Fantastic details of the eyes and those delicate hairs.
