This predator will come out for me during the day, and sit still for awhile. I feed him flies. LOL
Anyway, this is a set of 5 stacked photos. I can't seem to get the focus shot of the back of the spider to work out. When I try to auto blend the layers, that shot always messes up the forward focused areas because it is so much out of focus in the front. I hope that makes sense.
So, as you can see, the back area and leg of the spider had to remain out of focus because I couldn't use the shot that had them in focus without causing blurry areas and ghosting all over the image.
I used some saturation, dehaze, and darkened the blacks a little bit because I want that sparkly colorful web to stand out. Could be a bit sharper on the eyes. I might darken his hidey hole to give a bit more eeriness.
Critique and comments always welcomed.
Nikon D7100, 105mm manual focus, ISO 200, F/10, 1/125 sec., no flash, tripod, about 5 or 6 inches away from it.
