Itsy Bitsy Spider by

IMAGE FEATURED IN ARACHNIDS

A super tiny spider I played with all morning to capture few crisp images with my Sigma Macro 70 mm lens. I combined a total of 6 photos all shot from the same angle, just focusing on diferent parts to combine them for one crisp image. A lot of work, nevertheless I’m proud. Oh, btw.. spiders creep me right out so this was challenging. Photo taken in my home, Ontario, Canada.

Make: NIKON CORPORATION
Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 10/600 second
F Number: F/4.0
Focal Length: 70 mm
ISO Speed: 320
Date Picture Taken: Jul 13, 2009, 3:02:49 AM

It would make a great card with “DON’T BE SCARED” message in it. Just a thought.

    Oh such dedication to some creature that creeps you out! I study spiders and am so glad you took the time to take the shots and combine them!

  • Thank you very much. Glad you read the info on my efforts. : ) yeah, they are incredible God’s creations and somehow taking close-up shots and playing with the macros helps with getting over the phobia. I’m not afraid that much anymore, though I would not like one on me. Thank you again, much appreciated wonderful comment.

    I know what you mean. Face that fear and make art out of it! I still jump when a spider comes down on a silk in front of my face. It’s a quick reaction thing. But I draw and study wildflowers and they come with the territory, sooooo I draw and study them too (and butterflies)!

  • I hear ya! I think everything has a vibration (energy) I can relate to or want to know more about. It’s wonderful to explore and learn, I love it all. Thank you for taking the time to comment and browse my work. I appreciate it.

    Your welcome. It eats up the time to actually create, but it’s inspiring and my only connection with artists right now and I treasure it deeply.
