This is a good start, Kirsten! i was also spider hunting last night, but no luck. Did you shoot these with your S5000? If so, send me the details.

This is a nice post of this weird critter. You have captured the details well in this set showing the different angles. Well done!

Opiliones or Harvestmen are arachnids (8-legged arthropods) but not spiders. Felipe did an excellent write up in his previous post here. It's worth a look.

I posted a daddy longlegs spider here if you are interested.

Kirsten, You've done very well with a difficult subject (all those legs)! It's a nice presentaion with the two perspectives shown nicely. They are impossible to shoot in close with those so very long legs. Great note - Great job!

Excelente presentacion con 2 POV de este insecto tan difícil de retratar Kirsten.
Adecuadas encuadre y con muy buena agudeza y un colorido suave y natural.
Seguramente no has podido incluir la version LP, porque las dimensiones del original debe tener al menos una relacion de 2.5 a 1 en el y tu imagen sólo tiene 2.41 (por ejemplo 800x320 y no 800x331 como en este caso).
Espero poder ver LP de otras escenas tuyas proximamente.


Excellent presentation with 2 POV of this insect so difficult to portray Kirsten.
Adapted frame and with sharpness and very good smooth and natural colorful one.
Surely you have not been able to include version LP, because the dimensions of the original one must have at least one relation from 2,5 to 1 and your image only has 2,41 (for example 800x320 and not 800x331 as in this case).
I hope to be able to see LP of other scenes pretty soon.

Very nice photo good details, I just think that a bit morer contrast could be great.

A great approach and different. Good capture.
I find the image a bit too busy.
All in all a nice composition.

Very good job you have done here Kirsten, I'm impressed at how these look considering you only used F2.8. Very well done and a good note too.

You are a brave girl! Dont to spend too much time with Gerhard as the ones he shoots, gives me shivers. Great shot and your DOF and color is great. This shot has a very natural feel about it, I like it lots.

Thanks for posting
