Originally posted by MikeNArk That is an excellent photo of the spider and web. Looks like you caught it at exact center. Love the detail of both. You did a great job under difficult circumstances. Will be looking for next pic. PS, did you overcook the food?
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate your comment! The food was fine, I had everything under control...
Originally posted by K2 to K50 Wow, that is one cool pic, Todd. Amazing! My first reaction was "wonder how far down the aperture stop is on this one??" F5?? Then I saw the stacking explanation. There have been a few of those being posted recently - with equally amazing results. But hand-held, standing on a chair pointing upwards?? I take my hat off to you!
Thanks so much K2 to K50! I am pretty happy with the result although I spent quite a bit of time reproducing web segments where the merging wiped them out.

Thanks Patrick! You never know what you might stumble into...
Originally posted by archaeodude Excellent photograph, and a testimony to the virtues of focus-stacking, a technique that I haven't yet had a chance to explore!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I like focus stacking but have never tried it in quite this fashion before.
