Jumping Mad! (LIGHTING SET UP ADDED)

[famas]

So I've got 3+ long weeks off work ahead of me pretty much stuck indoors.
lucky I've got a friend to keep me company. He needs feeding, I'll try and catch him some flies later. Although in my current state it will be hard for me to catch a cold!
C+C always welcome.

Great shots - obviously got his eye on you!!!

The first one would be a cracker if the red were toned down to a dark gray, I find it detracts from the subject too much

Fantastic set

What an awesome set! Really interesting reading about the lighting setup too - especially the use of beer glasses as diffusers!

I love the coin ones - they give the spider size perspective. Truly awesome set and a truly awesome feller!

 

[ficknoster]

Absolutely Stunning!

Off to look at the setup.
