The spotty

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Funnel web spider

Spotted this beauty close to the end of the first trail of Shilonda, though I had framed it with the Canon macro lens, I wanted to explore a bit more, so I took the Raynox 250 from my friend Sameer Patel and tried exploring it. Being the first time of usage getting the framing, sharp focus an ample lighting was very difficult, finally ended up with few frames with one of them being this.

EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro+ Raynox DCR 250
F/14
Shutterspeed 1/100
ISO 800
Handheld, external flash fired

Location: Shilonda Trail

Some more space at the bottom would have been good. It is tough to shoot spiders as cutting off body parts most of the times gives an impression of accidental framing. One should look for natural joints to be at the edge of the frame. The built in flash has resulted in overexposed white spots. Else, the details would have been great. Thanks for sharing.
