Post by Charles Krebs »

Took a brief walk out back before tonights episode of "24", and found these recently hatched spiders. Tiny little critters and lots of them.

Hi ya' Charlie, :D

It is so hard to photograph a group of organisms like this within the confines of a narrow DOF. Was this a stack? I would guess not as much as these spiderlings would be moving around. You photographed these quite well. What'd you use to make this image, my friend :?:

Best regards as always, :D

Tom... it is kind of tough when you have a 3 dimensional mass made up of tiny individuals. I looked for a "plane" that gave me a decent number in focus... no possibility to "stack" as they were in constant motion. Two flashes were used. One was mounted on the lens and came in at about "10:30" relative to the subject. I held the other (by hand) at "3:00" and very slightly behind the subject. It was a Nikon D200 with Nikon 105mm macro. The flashes were the small wireless Nikon SB-R200.

Wow, I wish I'd seen that! Good job using your DOF, however you did it!

My yard is full of these little buggers or some similar! :? Good thing they are small, thank goodness, it makes it easier to deal with them crawling on me when I am down on the grass trying to shoot a bug or bee of somekind. :lol: I like the colors and the markings on these little crawlers though. Beautiful shots Charlie :D
