Some spiders

[LordV]

Some sunshine this morning bought out the wolf spiders and even a crab spider which seemed to take a dislike to me. The cross-eye stereograms at the end work rather well if you can freeview them.

Nice set Brian, love the stereos ;)

[racketman]

loving the first shot, all those beautiful shades of brown. Annoying how flash sometimes washes out green foilage.

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments all :)

Toby in this case I don't think the flash is washing out the green foliage- it's a very grey looking plant and newish leaves have very pale top surfaces.

Great shots Brian. Love all of them. Reckon you could make a "Hug Me" gif animation of the crab spider shots. :D

Great shots. Are these with the Sigma in your sig?

Great shots. Are these with the Sigma in your sig?

EXIF suggest a 65mm lens was used - that'll be the MPE65

Great work Brian - the stereograms work great for me

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments all :)
Kit lens- no I was using my MPE-65 but could have been the sigma with some ext tubes on it.

NICE!

These are some of the clearest, sharpest shots I've ever seen! Although the fact that I only have one contact in right now might have something to do with it...

Beautiful Brian, wish i could get close to these wolfies, very skittish around these parts ;-)

[Choderboy]

LV, your shots are always truly great. The one spider wants to give you a hug I think.....

[LordV]

Thanks for the kind comments Mike, Heather and Draigon - much appreciated.

Draigon not sure the spider wanted to give me a hug ;) :)

Lovely shots Brian - are they focus stacked? - need to get practising that for the summer!

The detail is amazing - esp those spikey legs!!

Yes all the shots are focus stacked to some extent but it's certainly not a necessity.
