Jumping Spider

Uploaded: April 23, 2009

Description

A shot of a Zebra Spider (Salticus scenicus). about 5mm, filling the frame.
Setup was a 44mm Helios Lens reverse mounted to the Sigma 150mm, and light provided by the Nikon R1 closeup speedlights.
Im glad the speedlights have focusing lights so I could see what I was focusing on.

Outstanding macro shot! However did you get him to hold still long enough to set up this amazing photo? No answer required...I'm just astonished. #1117690

Michelle, thank you for the comment, to be honest I must have spend about half and hour trying to get this shot, focusing was a major problem with the thin dof, and after about 15 shoots eventual got one that was usable.
