Macro Nigma flavescens

Nigma flavescens · **6 Likes**

A very small spider I found this morning in the leaf of a stinging nettle. Low light in a tree shadow and a little wind made it difficult to get a decent shot. The ratio of almost 1:1 yielded a very small DOF. So I decided to try to stack a manual focused series of pictures. At last I succeeded and I'm halfways satisfied with the result. It it was easy, everyone could do it

Very nice results! I have done quite a number of focus stacked images including some insects that were cooperative. This one came out very well. I like how the web shows against the out of focus portion of the leaf below it.

Beautiful capture of a delicate subject. I am impressed with the focus stacking - I have promised myself to try it sometime, but I can see that it wil not be easy! Well done!

Thumbs up. Took a few shots of a crab spider yesterday. Hope I got something as nice.

An excellent result! and bright too. On a tripod I would assume if focus stacked.

You are right. I used a tripod to stabilize the camera position. And I took a lot of pictures, from which one third could be used for the final stack.

Great shot. A lot of work has paid off with this one.
