I have a stacked view of this spider. But I thought this crop was interesting, just a solo pic with thin DOF and all.

Love the eyes! I believe that is your common yellow garden spider. Nice how you have captured the zigzag webbing with the shot also. I might boost either the saturation or vibrance to get the yellow to come out a little brighter.

I captured a little baby jumper today. Stacked from 6 images.



And trying to get away.

Here is my first bloom of the year. Yeah I know a little slow, but I have to plant my own flowers. I took this with the 85mm with a 20mm tube at f/1.8. I was going for a razor thing DOF and did alright. Sure wish I had the 85mm f/1.2.

Nice shots Jayson. The large spider is really spooky looking.

Took this in ambient light and shot it as a straight small jpeg in camera, processed with DPP. Was trying to expedite the workflow because my wife wanted some small images to email. I usually shoot RAW and use CS5 but this image is pretty sweet with minimal work

Thanks Joel. Someday I will get flash on those little guys. I was surprised how well the noise cleaned up. I shot that at ISO 800 with an XTi. I still like the IQ that comes from that old little camera. Makes you think also because you have to set the ISO manually. Auto ISO really took the challenge out of some things.

I really like your lilly shot Joel. Did you use a black piece of paper for the background on that?

No, it was bright sunshine so I stopped down enough to no clip the bright colors and the BG became very dark as a result.
