Jumping spider face

[AshMashMash]

Quite pleased with this! Found him on my shed:


Red Jumper by AshMashMash, on Flickr

I actually put a +2 dioptre filter on top of my macro lens (with selotape) to get a bit closer. I think I suceeded, perhaps slight reduction in image quality though. (These are £8 dioptre filters from ebay!). The little guy is perhaps 2-3mm long in total.

Lovely shot with very good detail of the eyes. Great background colour to go with it.

Twice I have now found one of these in my garden, but as of yet not managed an image anywhere as good as this.

Nice find Ash, the background colour really makes a difference - These are just the best spiders... when they stay still.

Ha - look at him. He's smiling, wearing his tux - all he needs now is a cane and a top hat and he'll be off to the Ugly Bug Ball (tho actually, for a spider - he's rather handsome)!







<oh, great shot btw - ha!>

 

[AshMashMash]
