Incy with dinner

Garden Spider
Found this in heather just finishing wrapping up the fly.
Difficult shot . Almost straight into the sun.
Took about 9 attempts at stacking but it kept twitching one leg.
Only one set anything like.

And I was just about to have my lunch, think I'll wait a bit now
Some fine work here John, you clearly have more patience than I do
Well done.

Geoff.

Wow, I keep seeing these stacked shots,,,I'll have to give it a go next year. I hope my spider shots a f16 work out. Nice bg and details John.

Ian

Thanks both. This DOF thing is frightening. At the disance I was - 10 CM (approx) you have 1.0 mm DOF @f16 ! Not much is it !

Super detail John. Like the mottled background colours too.

Great shot again.
May be I should spent some time with practizing stacking pictures. Never done that before.

Good looking image John, the BG is nice and you have good depth throughout the shot.

Andy...

Well captured & bravo on your patience with the stacking work.

Drew

Great detail and subject John,

Cheers

Patience is a virtue, aspired to by the many but achieved by the few, some of whom practice focus stacking. Can't wait to try some 3D stacking hopefully next month. An excellent shot, John Not seen any large examples of these in my garden so far this year.

Nice one John, well stacked as they say also rather a pleasing background

You are getting quite the hang of stacking images John!
Not sure about the square crop but tons of detail in this from your stacking.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Good one John.

Very nice image, John. Great detail and I like the colourfull background.

Superb as per usual John
