... all (8?) of them :P

Having fun with my macro lens and that tiny spidey model who was 'willing' to pose for me for some shots.
I like this one in particular because most of the body is out of focus while the head and the eyes are sharp.

I lost the exif info in post processing, but I guess these are close enough. I will update it back if needed, when I get home.

Edit : Fill flash with Canon MT-24 EX Twin Lite set at -2 stops

PP: USM, Level tweaking, Frame & Signature all using PS CS3

I have just about started to appreciate the difficultiy of using a macro lens and the equipment you used did well here. The depth of field is always so incredibly narrow and to have got the eyes and head as sharp as this is a really good effort. I love the way photography like this makes the subject look enormous even though it is tiny.
How did you get the white background. I can see that the frame merges pretty well with the background and that there is some shadow from the legs. Did you use a lightbox?
