CRAB SPIDERI found this tiny spider accidentally at my garden. I got supprised cause it's hands (front legs) are looks like Crab's claws. Always ran here and there, finally can be shot after it got tired.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo I took when I 1st time took my eldest daughter for a photo hunt. So we just went to our house's front yard in East Jakarta, Indonesia. I told her that there must be some insects that can be found in our front yard, so doing a photo hunt doesn't have to travel far.

Time

I told my edest daughter (7 years old) that to have a photo hunt best time is at around 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. cause we will not use the flash light, we will use only sunlight, and those are the best time for sunlight.

Lighting

I don't like to use flash light cause sometime it changed the color tone freshness. And I also don't want to darker the background. So I only use the Sun light.

Equipment

This was shot with an old pocket camera, its a Sony DSC-W30 (6 megapixels), it have carlzeis lens, and I'm not using flashlight. I don't have tripod, so it was a handheld shot and I dont have any additional lens. The pocket camera doesn't have burst shot mode. So it was more than 20 times shot to get this one moment.

Inspiration

I like Macro Photography, so I try to doing macro although I only have limited gadget. Yes... Professional Gadget do effect on the result, but I can wasted my time waiting to have a professional gadget to start doing my hobby. In fact, we should practice all the time cause by practicing we can get our own taste of art (angle, timing, framing, etc).

Editing

I only do soft editing since my friends told me that many photo contest's rules only alowed soft editing. Normaly I edit using Picasa. I don't like manipulating picture using photoshop. For me to get best pic without manipulating it, is another great pleasure of achievement.

In my camera bag

Nowadays I only have Canon Eos-60D and my Mobile Vivo V3. I still don't have tripod and macro lens.

Feedback

Try to be patients... Always follow the object movement. If your camera can do burst photo than make it. Learn the best angle that people commonly does in photography. Learn how the professional framing their pics. Remember.... Macro Photography demand/require enough lighting for the best result.
