Tiny little spider

2008.03.15
That little thing is the spider(size about 4 mm), shot with 72 mm

closing in 122mm + macro add-on iso 400

150mm + macro add-on iso 400 and crop, looks like it has 4 eyes??

200 mm + macro add-on iso 800 NO crop full picture...

Practising my macro shots again, its very difficult!
With 200 mm + the macro add-on lens the dof is very very short and really hard to focus. These were taken all hand held.
That spider was really small, can't wait to get a big one in front of the lens..

Zdenula wow, wow, wow! GREAT shots, #3 is the best for me, goes to my favs. Maybe it could be cut up and down. I know how hard is to focus with macro lense without tripod, but your photos are really sharp. Congratulations for so good set.

Kovac Wonderful macros!

????? I think, it´s a Salticus cingulatus and so this spider(wo)man shoud have even 6 eyes.....

focussed im in the same boat a th moment..getting that focus right on the macro certainly is a challenge!..but you've done a great job here...the background is a great color for him to contrast against!

coyoteself I really don't like spiders. But I do like good photography and this is an excellent set. Almost enough to inspire me to give a spider a chance as a model...or not

Karibbean I hate spiders, but this shot is awesome!
Karibbean · 2008-03-16: 23:47

????? heeey ik zou die spin zo mee laten doen aan die wedstrijd van canon!!

je kunt 2000 euro aan canon apparatuur winnen! kun je mooi die 50mm kopen :p je kunt nog meedoen op www.canon.nl/deuitdaging

ze hebben alleen helaas geen dieren/natuur afdeling, wel macro. die spin is zeker een leuke ervoor!
