Spider with Red-eye

Posted by Paul McConnon Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:40:00 GMT

Got a new Camera (Canon EOS450D – smashin’) and telephoto lens, was bustin’ to get using it and I thought of a big spider that’s been out the back yard for the last few weeks, getting bigger every day.

He lives about 15 feet in the air, with his web running from a tree, to the umbrella of our picnic table. I used the new zoom lens, and tried photographing him from the ground. Took a few shots to get the focus sharp, and the flash set to the right level not to ‘white him out’.

This shot was the best. The level of detail on him is amazing (click the link to get to a high-res version) as well as the size of the Depth-of-Field. His front legs are going out of focus, and his back legs a bit.

Best of all was the fact that the flash has actually given him Red-Eye, how detailed is that!

For info, he’s about an inch long.

Oh, and his name’s Stanley.

    David had quickly observed that people who use social media are either very successful if they are committed to it, or not successful if they are half hearted about it.
