My first image post here
Hi all, this is my first image post here. I am a relative newbie to macro. I believe this is a huntsman spider. Shot on Sony a7ii, 10X Nikon objective, DCR 150 reversed as tube lens, Nikon Bellows. 1/100 s, ISO 100, three flashes with double tracing paper diffusion. Approximately 250 images slabbed, stacked in Zerene and developed in Lightroom.
Any comments, criticisms or suggestions would be greatly appreciate. Happy New Year.

Re: My first image post here
That's very nice. However, one thing I notice is that some of the hairs, especially the small ones at the front, are extremely sharp, while the hairs in other areas are not very sharp. I don't know what would explain this. Possible time-varying ambient vibrations? Like cars on a highway? Though your flashes ought to have stopped the vibration, unless maybe they were at full power.

Dude,
For a noob, that is one hell of an image.

Thanks, it is a spider, I think a huntsman.

Re: My first image post here
Thanks, I did not notice that. I am not sure what that is. I was at 1/128 power on 3 flashes so that should have taken care of most current vibrations. I will keep working on my technique.Lou Jost wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 6:54 pmThat's very nice.
