Jumping Spider

Howdy,

This little guy was crawling across my monitor . Rather than letting him get lost in the house, I moved him to another piece of glass, took some shots with couple of remote flashes and then set him free in the backyard. I tried to get the lighting figured out but I ran out of time. I should have whipped-out my light modifiers. Oh well, next time .

I hope I NEVER find one of those walking across my monitor! LOL. Blech. Hate spiders!

Great shots though!

Beauty!

Nice shots. My 1st reaction would not be to shoot it lol.

Howdy Cappo,

It was funny because I've been wanting to shoot one of these Jumpers for quite a while. I was on the phone with a co-worker at the time the little critter poked his head around the side of the monitor. Fortunately, I had a wireless headset on allowing me to run to the kitchen to grab a cup to scoop him into before he got lost I just wish I had put together better lighting .

Very impressive close up
