hairy legs

[NJ]

i know the back legs are out of focus, and that its the arse end of the spider, but there was something i just liked about the composition.

and i just liked this one

thanks for looking, please comment.

EDIT: i did what andrew suggested and cloned out the shadow in the first shot

I think the dark corner in the first might throw some viewers, if you clone out that dark corner I think that will help the image, but the second is an absolute pearler!

Out of curiosity, which lens? The EXIF tells me the first image was F0 at a focal length of 0mm, and the second was F1 @ 0mm???

gday andrew, thanks for the tip with the first one.
the reason there is limited exif is that i used an old manual focus 50mm 1.4 with close up filters.

Strewth that has made a difference eh? I'm surprised how something like that can change the image so much... The EXIF makes sense now, ta... I was scratching my head there for a tick

Nice images NJ. That's one seriously sharp lens. Very intriguing lighting. It seems to add a different dimension to the set.
cheers

thanks marco.
yeh is a nice lens, got it for nothing from a relative, but had to pay $140 to get it repaired after my cousin dropped it but i had to get the huge amount of fungus cleaned anyway, just cost more than i would have liked, but $140 for the lens really isnt to bad.

Just a quick Newbie question, but how did you check that? I know how to do it on Flickr because there was an option, but here?

Sorry if I sound dumb. Still learning

if you save the image, then depending on what program you use to vew the pic, theres usually an option to view the exif data somewhere, usually in image properties. well thats how i do it anyway.
and no questions sound dumb here mate, dont feel affraid to ask questions just because they seem simple. you will only get answers. its a great community here.

G'day mate,

There are utilities you can download that adds an option of "View EXIF/GPS/IPTC with Iexef" to your menu when you click on an image, so you can click on an image on a web page and get the exif without downloading it...

Cheer here for some freeware options..
