FU....I about smashed my screen when those eyes popped up! I hate hairy spiders! No insect should have fur!! Now, as for the shots. The focus is great! What did you shoot these with?

i like how the spider blends into his environment!

 

[Ryan L]

lol, thats what I don't like about it! They are sneaky little critters!

 

[shaunly]

Yea, kinda creepy taking pictures of them. Focusing is tough cause they move like crazy and the dof is super shallow even at f/16! I used a 50mm prime with a 65mm extension tube and diffused flash fill. I also mounted my super bright LED bike light to my camera so I can see to focus.

I like the one of the ant the most! Its almost like a color gradient going across the photo

What about bumble bees? Bumble bees have A LOT of fur (if you can call hair on an insect fur....)

Great shots by the way, I get a real feel for the environment with these pics.

I hate bugs

 

[shaunly]

what about this hairy guy

 

[pmsnel]

Nice! Sometimes people take the macro a bit to far for my taste. You loose the surroundings and the context of the bug. The bugs could also have been killed and pricked up on a pin. You won't see it, because you only see such a small portion of the bug.
You give your bugs something to do in the photo!

Man, you must have been close, 3 or 4 inches methinks. Very nice shots!
