Nightmare

Here is another of my experiments with macro photography. The spider was perhaps an inch or so in length and the aim was to bring out as much detail as i could. At the magnifications employed, depth of field is almost non-existent and i had to stack multiple images to get a reasonably detailed image.


This guy puts the lie to the saying 'come into my parlour said the spider to the fly'. One look at this fellow (or others like him) and no creature would stay to converse let alone consider any kind of socialising. I'm a hardy soul but i'm certain I would not care to run into a life sized version of this fella. Anyhow, i promised some not so pretty images so please enjoy. Comments and praise accepted as usual;)
