A daddy-long-legs for Marc

I saw a few daddy long legs hanging out in the backyard. I thought of Marc and all his latest spider portraits. I had a few minutes so I ran back in the house to get my stuff.

Here's the best of what I got. I'll have to try a different lens combination if they're out again tomorrow. This one was the 40mm and a 12mm extension tube:

Dan, thanks for thinking of me...

They are interesting to watch while on the hunt! I love the Pentax color rendition, especially the greens - so vibrant - nice shot! Which lens did you use with the extension tubes?

Regards,
Marc

Thanks Marc. Well you have been posting quite a few super-macros of spiders in action lately - I couldn't pass up the opportunity when I saw this one perched on the leaf at waist level.

That one was taken with the DA40 Limited w/a 12mm extension tube.

Here's one of the first of the batch I took. This one with an old Pentax M-150mm, also with an ext. tube attached.

That first one is great, You did a good job.

Great shooting. Takes a lot of DOF to focus all those legs in. Fine job.

Great shots, khardur! #1 is simply awesome. That DOF on the legs really makes the picture.
