The Black Widow Spider:eek: I really don't like spiders, but we seem to be infested with the girls right now:o
Captured with a handheld Nikon D200, Nikkor 105mm macro lens, f11, 1/500th sec, ISO 800 (Oops, too high), exp comp +.33, spot meter mode, SB800 flash set on TTL FP, full power, also handheld (I have two hands:))attached to the camera with a Nikon SC-17 cord. PP'd in CS3, sharpened with Intellisharpen II. C&C welcome.
Great detail in the spider and love the angle. I think from a compositional standpoint it would have been stronger without the brown area in the BG and so much blurry area in the FG but I can certainly understand why you didn't want to stick around and try it again! :eek::eek::eek:
I don't mind spiders, Dan but I draw the line at Black Widows and Brown Recluse. So I don't think I would have considered moving it to a better background. But I would have wished for a better background. Otherwise the spider itself is very sharp with excellent detail. Well done.
