"Itsy-Bitsy-Spider"

“Itsy-Bitsy-Spider”

Note: The base image was modified by painting a watercolor base and adding a textured canvas brick filter to simulate the spider climbing on the wall.

This pretty girl is painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 macro lens with a Nikkor 12mm extension tube.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 105mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/125sec. - f/11 / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / ISO @ 200 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to minimum fill flash with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and manual trigger release cable /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Nice! The colors are superb. Especially the spider. Where in the world does
this guy live? Is it in Florida?

Cheers, Ilija

Like the spider and the flower. The bricks make no sense at all to me. Would love to see the original spider image....
