Zebra Jumping Spider
Hi i would just like to thank you all for your kind comments on the Kingfisher.
I have had lots of requests to post some of my high speed flash work so here we go.
Canon 5d mk2
100mm macro + 36mm tube
Infrared beam breaker
1 high speed flash duration 1/20000 sec
The whole of this setup was the size of a compact flash card :smile:

brilliant Dale, very well done. This must have taken some patience.

I've been interested in HSF images for some time so I've enjoyed looking around your website.

Cracking shot Dale!

I see from you're website (and the photo!) you're a Stephen Dalton fan. I assume you've got his spider book (if not, get it, probably the best spider photography I've seen), was lucky enough to meet him briefly a few years ago while he was working on it (I'm an arachnologist).

I applaud the effort and technical know-how that went into this shot!
