Nice shot. Thanks for mentioning the reverse lens technique, so I could do some research about it. Nice trick :) . (http://www.mplonsky.com/photo/article.htm#rev)
Posted by oliver at June 18, 2004 02:44 AMThat is probably one of the coolest spider shots I've ever seen.

Posted by chemical imbalance at June 18, 2004 09:42 AMWow, I feel like it is going to climb off my computer screen and attack me!
Posted by Todd at June 18, 2004 11:59 AMConsidering the narrow DoF shooting like this ... you have managed to bring out the most critical bits and captured a great photo
Posted by IanSMcN at June 18, 2004 12:17 PMI gotta tell you that it looks surprisingly good as a wallpaper(centered). the green color is very easy on eyes. the spider is cool!
Posted by Qiang at June 18, 2004 01:29 PMI really love the texture on this one!
Posted by matt at June 18, 2004 03:27 PMsend this to ron weasely. he'll love it.
Posted by amir at June 18, 2004 05:16 PMI have never seen spider's eyes that clearly until today.
Posted by redshot at June 18, 2004 05:32 PMI thought it's some gigantic African bug. Good job!
Posted by Boreo at June 18, 2004 10:26 PMDude, you are the best!
Posted by Shaahin at June 18, 2004 11:22 PMwell done perfect shot
Posted by Roozbeh at June 19, 2004 02:03 AMLove the shot! Jumping spiders are the best ones to photograph. I love getting them to leap from one hand to another. Fantastic athleticism!
I hope to try and get a few shots of one for my site this summer.
Posted by Kevin In Canada at June 20, 2004 10:22 PMNice macro work! I love photographing insects and spiders, but I can rarely capture spiders as nice as you have here.
Posted by Andrea at June 21, 2004 09:20 AMGah! My camera's macro ability is woefully insufficient.
