Spiders

As per the title, a few spiders in the garden today at lunchtime, theirs not mine.

Usual macro setup, k3ii + tubes + 105mm macro + modified ringflash all handheld as ever.

I have to say your post has done nothing for my arachnophobia !!

Excellent results. Well photographed.

Best regards

Sorry Peter

Cheers k10D

They are very good pics though.

can you explain what "modified ringflash" means please...Excellent images

Thanks Peter

Hi Stuart. The ring Flash was too harsh for extreme closeups. Leaving lots of shiny spots.
I made up a homemade diffuser to soften it using a plastic mixing bowl, half an empty coffee tin and some underlay for laminate flooring

Nice set of spiders, good lighting and excellent detail.

Your homemade diffuser works well

Nice pics of the eight legged wotsits ☺

Vwry nice. Excellent work.

Wow! Some excellent shots Derek! Very impressive - and your lighting set-up works very well

good stuff, you have more spiders than us.

Fantastic! They rather put my feeble early attempts at macro to shame...

Derek is one of the best I've seen on these forums so it's perfectly acceptable that he comes up with better stuff than us

Excellent shots Derek, spiders are not easy as they require a lot of DOF.
