Location
I took this photo in Topeka, Kansas in the backyard of my grandparents house.Time
I believe it was around 2pm.Lighting
I definitely needed the midday lighting in order to get enough light with the equipment I used.Equipment
I had a Pentax k200d at the time. I used a 70-300mm take on macro/telephoto lens 1:2 and a 3x manual teleconverter that let me change magnification ratios. I also used a tripod as with the setup, the focus plane was only about a fifth of an inch in depth.Inspiration
These spiders are very where here and I've always been fascinated by making the small uber largeEditing
I used camera raw in Photoshop cs4 for color correction and some minor exposure adjustments.In my camera bag
