Dinnertime

I found this little guy in our garden. He was feeding at that time, but it was fun to see that he still was very alert. Moving around so he could see everything that was happening around him. After he was finished he did a bit of modeling for me

I really like #2! What a cool picture.

 

[Craig-Nature at Its best]

Those are amazing. What type of camera do you have? And if you can link me to where you bought it, that would be great!

 

[Michaelaw]

Great shots...Very clear. Those eyes give me the creeps though

 

[TCimages]

Great work! #1 is perfect!

 

[Do'Urden's Eyes]

Yeah im a big fan of the first one as well!

#2 is the one I like the best. Really shows the "alien" in the world of insects. The DOF is really shallow but its nailed in this photo. The highlights in the eyes and "fur" really bring depth.

well, i just had to bump it :mrgreen:

you shouldn't have to... These are amazing! That spider is so sharp!!!! And he is a much better model than the Dragon Fly because he keeps his eyes clean (or did you give him a cotton ball before the shoot?:lmao.

 

[Bifurcator]

I agree with usayit.

All great shots. 1 and 2 rock hard! Truly Daan level excellence!

 

[darkpbstar]

did you eat the spider afterwords?

 

[KamaKazzy]

Awesome little jumper spider. Love those little guys. Very cool creatures. Lovely pics, as usual!

Thank you

Those are amazing. What type of camera do you have? And if you can link me to where you bought it, that would be great!

Thanks. HERE you can find a link made by Bifurcator that tells you excactly what i use and what i do with the pics. About the camera, its a Canon 350D, so posting a link to where i bought it doesnt really make sense, since you can buy it (and newer versions) at every camerashop.

Great shots...Very clear. Those eyes give me the creeps though

Really? Its the eyes that made me fall in love with these little spiders........and the way they jump, just an awesome sight

Great work! #1 is perfect!

Thank you very much

Yeah im a big fan of the first one as well!

Thanks, its always a challenge to get a nice dof with a macro lens, but most of the times F13 works pretty good.

you shouldn't have to... These are amazing! That spider is so sharp!!!! And he is a much better model than the Dragon Fly because he keeps his eyes clean (or did you give him a cotton ball before the shoot?).

Thank you and yes i gave it a good polish before the shoot. Added a little eyeliner too, which was alot of work since he has alot of eyes.

I agree with usayit.

All great shots. 1 and 2 rock hard! Truly Daan level excellence!

Thank you Bifurcator, really appreciate all the compliments and the thread you made

did you eat the spider afterwords?

uhm......ok

Awesome little jumper spider. Love those little guys. Very cool creatures. Lovely pics, as usual!

Yeah, they are probably my favourite too. Those little buggers just look to cute with those little eyes . And thanks for the reply

Friendly guy. The way he looks out of his many eyes (mostly so in the "modeling photos"), I want to pet him! Only would I NOT want to be a FLY!

Great macros, as always!
I need a new lens. I now know for sure!

 

[doenoe]

Thanks corinna
Well, you know how to take bug shots, cause you have seen me do it for a whole week. Now just for the lens then
