Jumping spider among a sea of yellow 2.0 · 03:34 PM

eating an Aphid, tucked in between flower pedals

(this is a slight crop btw)

Wow, great shot! I really like the dof, how the hair on the back becomes blurry.

yeatzee · 04-29-2010, 03:58 PM

Thank you. This is at F/20 I believe.

This shot was one of my most difficult, because I couldn't for the life of me light up the inside of the flower pedals (he was tucked in at the very back) with my flash. The working distance was to short :ugh:

Still came out cool though IMO

Great shot yeatzee. Detail is fabulous.

I used to see these spiders when I lived in TX now I'm in FL I never see any. All we have here are big ugly spiders I don't care to mess with.

Thank you.

Great shot! love the strong yellow background as a contrast.

**eccs19** · 04-29-2010, 05:41 PM

Wow, nicely done. I love the look of his / her eyes.

**rparmar** · 04-29-2010, 06:00 PM

Wow, what an amazing shot!

But I think it is too tightly cropped on the right hand side, and the aspect ratio is uncomfortable. Maybe make it square?

wshi · 04-29-2010, 06:35 PM

Simply an amazing shot. Wow.

So this was with a 1:1 macro and a reversed lens?

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 04-29-2010, 07:47 PM

Two very nice jumper images, love the first one with the aphid. Thanks for posting them.

timstone · 04-29-2010, 09:08 PM

Thanks. It is not cropped on the right.... the wind was blowing quite alot, so the flower was violently swaying. Composing the shots was not possible

:ugh:
I will try a square crop

First one is amazing. I think I may like it more than your mantis shots! Didnt think that was possible.
