Had to look in here to see what a sipder was. Wish you could spell as well as you can take photos of Spiders. Great shots.

Got your attention there? Actually realized the typo error but forum doesn't allow editing of thread title. And thank you for the compliment.

Oh my god! These are the most amazing shots of spiders I have ever seen!

I can't wait to see more...

Thanks for the nice words and glad to know you like them.

I was going to make a joke about this!

I think #25 is actually a type of bird **** mimic!

Very nice lighting, two flashes is working very well for you.

I think #25 is known as Bird Dung Spider. Yup, felt 2 flashes is really better than 1.

Great work man! Some of them i have never seen before like the Yellow one and the Ant spider. Really good lighting on the subjects.

Thanks and glad that you like them.

I like #2. Excellent depth of field.

Thank you.

Thanks. I find spiders to be very good macro subjects.

Thanks for the compliment. There are lots of bugs here in the tropics and I have a group of regular macro shooters that we shoot regularly together. More more pairs of eyes can spot more bugs.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Seems like every time I try to shoot a spider, it runs away.

Wow! This is quite a series you've got here! All are beautiful captures! I was a little curious about this one though:

How did you get those circular catchlights? I love them.

Beautiful, wonderful series!

Thanks Mark.

The black circle is my lens. The white area is due to the 2 flashes used and DIY diffuser around the lens.

 

[Markw]

Oh, so you had a doughnut-shaped diffuser around the lens? That makes sense. Thank you for answering my questions.
