If you will remember the story of how I used my macro ring flash for the first time, this is the spider from that tale. The first shot I took did turn out, much to my surprise. But he wasn’t posing very nicely. The second shot without the tube on, where he’s in the corner, shows how badly the corner of my bathroom floor needs scrubbed, so I’m not sharing that one either. You get shot #4. Sorry about the spider shot, Suby. I know how these things creep you out. I have two more to share, but those will be later. I’ll show something furry or feathery next week.
Eeeeecccckkkk, eeeeck....
(screaming like a little girl here ).... eeeeeccckkkk... LOL. My little weak ticker just about gave up back there when the image popped up on my screen. However I saw enough of the image to know this is a very good capture and all. If memory serves me right, good DOF and even more scary, I swear you intentionaly shaperned the front bit, nightmares tonight for me :(
:)
The Coward Suby
Erk! Bugs!
But a good capture.
i sure do remember the story and i like the final result :)
Augh! Spider!! Good for you for being so brave:)
This is a lovely pose and the footwork is so aggresso-characterstic with the front-probe / back-anchor style. I can’t help but wonder what you looked like to him . . !
Cool shot Micki. I have not really explored macro photography. I don't have the most patience in the world. I do however love macro shots.
A very ugly tiny beast. Good, very good photo… color, composition, bottom… Greetings!
Nice spider shot. I'm remembering the story, with quite a few chuckles to go along with it. :-)
Good shot, Micki. Come on, Suby! Keep a stiff upper lip and what not! :-)
Nice captured ;)
The spider looked screamed ahaha..
Very nice to see.
Regards
These guys give me the willies. Better you than me taking his all important closeup.
Simply incredible when you put the visual to the story!
Ew bugs! I don't like them and they don't care much for me I'd imagine.
wow..great detail and i like white background make it look more pleasant and cleaner look, btw i like to see the 2nd shot in the bathroom also- very interseting:-P
Very cool, I was waiting for this pist after I had read your post on this a few weeks back, great shot
Good job it's not any bigger!
Great shot Micki. I love the centre focus, the white 'background' and the pose of the spider. She does look a mean one.
What a kind guy! Nice detail Micki, you have some funny little friends!
I'm with the arachniphobes, don't like the things. As long as they are outside, fine. Inside, smush-o.
Cool shot. Can't wait for the furry or feathered friends next week!
astro
Oh,I'm scared...~~! but cool Shot Micki :)
Have anice weekend!!
Pretty little spider. The white bathroom and macro ring flash lit it very well.
Scary.
LOL Suby! I get such a funny picture of him in my head when I read his responses to your creepy crawly critters.
I do remember the story behind this shot. It's fantastic and suitably creepy too.
ahh we finally get to see the results of that little adventure. Might have to get myself a macro flash one of these days.
This is a GREAT shot. Love the spider. What kind is it?
Brrrr, when i saw it, i jumped on the table! LoL
Have a nice week-end Micki
Eeeks...scary!
He looks pretty flat. You glued him to the floor, didn't ya?
This time I can't say this is among my favourite shots :) I'm kind of scared to death of spiders... To me you are an hero! :)
I've been waiting for this one to show up. Well done and 'probably' worth delaying a hot bath for :-)
i really like the furry detail around the wee beasties mandibles. good shot.
And shame on Suby...a full grown man!!
Ugh. jeez... I hate spiders. Especially a weird one like this. this in combination with the seed pod pic and I'm going to have guaranteed nightmares. But it is a great macro... nicely high-key!
What a confrontation!
