This was shot in Pay Master Park, Matheran, just after the start of the monsoon. About 1cm long. This spider had a gorgeous iridescent green colour on its carapace and abdomen, unfortunately it has not been reproduced effectively due to the use of flash here :(. Tried a few images without the flash and using wider apertures, but the light was too low and it started raining a few moments later.
Not sure of the ID, I have been told it is probably Ptocasius sp. due to the round, elevated cephalothorax, will get back with a confirmed ID if possible.
Canon 500D, Canon 100mm Macro USM
Manual Exposure
Tv 1/200
Av 11.0
ISO 1600
Flash On, flash EC 0
Cropped ~25% from the bottom and right. Increased the brightness slightly. I think there is a small bit of noise in the BG, but refrained from using the NR tool to correct that... do you find the noise too distracting? No sharpening done.
Thanks, C&C awaited.
