Good shots, Lester - interesting looking spider

Nicely done Lester, that is one colourful spider and most definitely a male looking at the size of the palps.

Thanks Dave and Alby.

Nice shots Lester, look like he's set up for a boxing match.

Great shots, not seen one of those before.

Good shots Lester, looks sort of like a Lynx spider in some respects. Interesting spider.

Lovely shots Lester- not sure on the stacking description- are you doing them by hand ?

Thanks Brian, yes had aligned and stacked in photoshop, I align the layers using the difference blend mode, then change to normal blend mode add a mask and paint in the bits I want on the mask.

I found I had lots of artifacts from using CombineZ, this gives me cleaner results and more flexibility about alignment and image size etc. It is not as hard and lengthy as it sounds at first hearing.

lovely shot!!!
