Spider Eyes

[BobaPhil]

Here are some of the macro shots I've taken with my 450d, I don't remember the stats of each one (I'll bear in mind for future).

I have played with the brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation a little.

This is Bill, my Brachy Smithi, a Mexican Red Knee. A sling, or baby t.

Crumb, my G Rosea, a Chilean Rose.

Hope you like them, and please feel free to critic or offer advice, I'm here to learn.

Re: Spider Eyes

Re: Spider Eyes

That's ok, not many people are spider experts...I still don't think I'm one, lol.

Live crickets, locusts, roaches. The Birdeater will have a small mouse when she's older. :|

I had a fear of spiders, so I bought one (was only supposed to be one, I have nine now), but I've got over my fear...I kinda love them now.

And thanks for the comments.

It's when you have nine but only count eight that worries me

Don't think I'm brave enough to buy one I'd like to get over my fear though.

Re: Spider Eyes

Not my cup of tea as well. I suggest a board outside your door- "Beware of mouse eating spiders". Will keep out burglars and vandals from your home.

Re: Spider Eyes

Got some of one of my sling (baby spider), Harvest, a Greenbottle Blue.

Re: Spider Eyes

That's quite amazing.

Is that focus stacked? If so, how many images?

[BobaPhil]

Re: Spider Eyes

Not this time, she's too quick for setting up for stacking. It was just point and click, trying to get the best focus I could.

They were the best of about 15 shots though.

Re: Spider Eyes

I didn't know you cal a baby spider a sling. How big is she and what/how do you feed her?
These shots are much better than the original ones, well done. They are very photogenic and quite different from other posts.
I'm always interested in the Exif data too, Phil, so if you could post that it would be appreciated.
