[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday the sun was shining and I had to walk through our backyard with the washing because the machine is in the garage. In order to do that I walked through different spiderwebs - very sticky.
Photography is a great way to overcome fear - I have even been standing at great heights in order to make a nice picture. So no time better then autumn to catch me a spider (gives me goosebumps).
However the light was all wrong and there was no other POV to capture this little one.
So I went back inside to get me a large (2 person-size) Heineken umbrella. With that one I tried to block the sun. Of course it started to slide, but the result is that I now had a BG I liked.
Hope you do too.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day of course,
Els

Stunning Macro! this spider is so sharp! impressive, i love the thread of web hanging from its legs! Excellent idea of the umbrella too! good job! ;)

Zeer fijne foto met goed details. Fun hoe je het web eruit ziet komen en zeer scherp met het haar op de poten.
Cheers

Die staat er mooi op en zonder schrik!

Hi Els

I dont do spiders either and I am sure this one webs refeshed places others could not reach (is that how the advert goes?)

Anyway the effect of this boozy brolly is superb as was your idea. Jolly well done both on the bravery and photography.

kind regards Helen

Beau travail Els.
Le résultat est fantastique.
Les détails, les couleurs et la lumière me plaisent beaucoup, moi qui ordinairement, passe rapidement par dessus les photos d'araignées.
Et que dire de ce modèle qui a gardé la pause tout ce temps?
Belle capture Els!
Salutations,
Dany

Hello Els

Amazed with the beauty of this pic!
The colors, his Bg and his frame are wonderful, now the Spider wins in 10 beauty points here, she seems to levitate, his web is so fine that nor appears in his great macro.
Congratulations in double.

grrrr, shivers here, good photo Els :-)

Your spider should be called Pippy Longstockings, Els! He/she is wearing super leg-warmers for winter! The b/g works well! It looks as if the spider is in a spotlight! Well, she would wouln't she! She's a tightrope walker!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Els,
My favorite subjects are those insects that always tend to make us shout and jump! As before I used to shout and jump out of some sort of disgust, now I shout and jump...for my camera!!
Wonderful capture of this lovely creature...you even captured it's "webline"!
Very lovely BG and great light.

Hello Els,
So you don't like spiders, well I guess not many do!
This is a nice close-up of the insect, fine details and nice action captured...
A well composed presentation, attractive colour palette!
