Cute and nicely done! May I know your setup & how you flash the spider? The first 2 shot lighting control to me was superb!

[night86mare]

yes the first two are great

i particularly like the first one, it personifies the spider in some subtle way, making it less of a non-human, i suppose, not sure what i'm talking about but i hope you get what i mean

swee!

thanks kohhy6. the lighting was done with Nikon's Creative Lighting System, pop up flash set to ''commander'' mode and SB800 set to ''remote'' mode, the SB800 was fired from the left side in both cases. kind of lucky to have some leaves blocking and bouncing the flash light as the spider hid itself really well. it was playing games with me trying to hide from my camera

thanks night86mare ... ... hmmm ... actually i didn't treat the spider like a spider, it was more like a small kid running around it's ''base'' trying to play catching with me it came out into the open finally after quite some time
