Heavy Jumper at ASH

cerebrus · 14th April 2006

Looks like one of those movies where the hero is standing on a cliff, guarding the pass.

Snoweagle · 14th April 2006

Actually sometimes i find JSs rather cute cos like in the pic, they seemed to have those 'eyebrows'.

tchuanye · 15th April 2006

Long time never see you post!

Same style as before.

ortega · 15th April 2006

haha been busy
thanks for the kind comments

same style = same subject + same equipment + same location + same lunchtime

me rusty already

Caomhin · 15th April 2006

Dude! Nice!

JimmyH · 15th April 2006

Very nice lighting + gd details on the spider head. Its easy to blow the highlight with this JS. I learned that the hard way. Looks like you got this one just right.

ortega · 15th April 2006

thanks for the kind comments Caomhin and JimmyH
it took lots of tries to get it

and i suppose it would take a lot more tries
to get another one.

Just keep shooting

Hi Ortega. I like the composition of your spiders.

How did you get so close to the spider? I cant seem to have such magnification. Do you crop the pictures or is as is from the camera. Or is it extension tubes. Always wanted to get such high magnification ratio.

Regards,.

ortega · 16th April 2006

thank you tltan, i like your work as well

my shots are 1:1 magnification with slight crop for better composition.
look for bigger spiders

Mendis · 16th April 2006

Nice nice work.

eAgles · 16th April 2006

Cutie spidy! Very nice!

gooseberry · 16th April 2006

Very nice there Alex... great pic and compo. Whenever I go macro shooting, takes me ages to find a subject - my eyes are no good, and I think I need more patience. You guys seem to be able to find the subjects so easily.. hehe.

ortega · 16th April 2006

That'll be cool, would like to do some macros at ASH with you sometime.

seankyh · 16th April 2006

Good catch! Love the furry critter. Must check out ASH some day..

tanhb · 16th April 2006

Ur macro shots are different from others, but I must say most of the time I do like them. This is another nice shot.

Very good photo. How do you take them without alerting the spider?

Can I come along & see you in action?
