I usually find spider close ups a bit creepy but this one with the amazing blue petal background manages to make me think of a spider at a black tie event, looking its best, rather dapper even . Congratulations on this wonderful image

Behind The Lens

Location

In my mini studio.

Time

During the day time.

Lighting

Used a flash SB 700 Nikon with a DIY diffuser. Manual 1/8 EV -0.3.

Equipment

Nikon D300, reversed lens 18-55mm kit lens. Used flash to freeze the subject hand held .

Inspiration

Nature has always been my passion especially macro subjects.

Editing

Some sharpening , and adjustments to exposure, contrast and some brushing.

In my camera bag

Nikon D300, some lenses 18-55mm, 70-210mm and Tokina 12-24mm. Flash SB 700 and SB 910. Remote trigger , Tripod if I am shooting landscape.

Feedback

Can always google for macro photography or cheap macro photography. Always shoot in Manual mode shoot 3 shots forward and 3 shots backwards. Even if you think the subject is in focus the most important are the eyes that is why I always shoot 6 shots.
