Excellent photo WestCoast and really interesting composition that you have accomplished (CS?)

Love it, Westcoast! But I hazard a guess there are several members here who won't!!

It's dead I gather? I wouldn't get too close to a live one.

Nice frame shadow effect thingy, looks cool.

Uuuuh nooo... that thing was very much alive and hanging just outside our kitchen window waiting to catch flies and suck their guts out! :shock:

To take the pic, I had to have the lens (Sigma 50mm 1:1 macro) just a few cm away from the spider.
This task was made much more "interesting" by the fact that it was a windy evening and the thing was moving back and forth right in front of my face!
I used an external flash and shot this at f22 (if I remember correctly)
Used PS to remove part of the background and then added a drop shadow to the legs to give the impression they were "sticking out" of the picture, so to speak.
Not sure if I succeeded entirely, but I found the effect is interesting nonetheless.

I would have needed a lens with VR cos I would have been shaking that much. :lol:

Probably wouldn't turn out anyway. Nice capture Westcoast
