Hello Alain,
this is a perfect shot. How many eyes do spiders have? Also a lot of hairs, I can see every detail, sharpness is excellent.
Very good job, thanks to you

Excellent close up Alain,
What a set up to get this shot, that must take a while to set up.
Great detail, sharpness and colours. A very good explanation of how you achieved this shot too.
Thanks for posting.
Excellent work Alain. Real gem. Ultramacro at its best. I also like your workshop very much - very informative.

A stunning macro, Alain. Not a creature I would want to come face to face with. Good thing I am a tad bigger (I hope!). Very sharp details and well exposed. Excellent POV. Well done and TFS. : )

Hi Alain,
This is a very good reminder of the good old times when there was no macro-lenses, I still remember the hard work to get decent macros with bellows and manual flashes, it's a lot easier these days.
Well composed, good details and the DOF is good too.
Very well done.

Hi Alain,
A super macro shot. It is amazing what these guys look like at 5-6x. Superb detail in this shot! Great note on how this is done.
Scott
Superbe Alain! et merci pour l'explication et le WS.
2 questions:
1) Pourquoi un Double cable release? il y a un système pour fermer le diaphragme par ce cable ?
2) Comment as tu fais pour pas qu'elle se sauve ... a quelle distance de l'objectif était l'araignée ?
TFS, Laurent

Too much, too scary, WOW!!! What a shot!
Bonjour Alain,
Excellent shot and well done on the composition.
My only nit is the lighting, though you did well, I think it could have been diffused. I find it somewhat harsh, not natural.
Excellent work, beautiful.

Awesome POV, very sharp and just all around crazy picture. Most poeple are terrified of spiders and a close up of one such as this explains why. I think spiders as small as they are are very scary seeing them like this just enforces it. I love the DOF the blurry legs looks like there coming right out at you. Very cool picture.
Excellent macro! I wish I could give you some points for your Workshop on this one, it's fascinating. Unlike most other extreme macros on TN, this one is completely free of Chromatic Aberrations - which is interesting. Focus/exposure are spot on too! To be honest the lighting doesn't worry me too much here - there aren't any particularly problematic shadows, so that's a non-issue IMO. Have you tried z-stacking yet? CombineZ5 looks fascinating to me, and might help for future shots - although it's tricky to do with live subjects... Perhaps you could give it a go! Anyway, excellent work as ever :D

Vraiment impressionnant à ce grossissement! Très net et, compte tenu du grossissement, la PDC est excellente. Bravo! Je vais prendre le temps de parcourir ta galerie à la recherche d'autres perles.
