Another shot made today with the 100mm.
Jumping spider, family Salticidae, with a roach. This guy was effortlessly pulling the roach (at least equal to its own weight) up a plant stem. Reminded me of a leopard hauling its kill up a tree .
Canon EOS 500D + Canon 100mm macro USM
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv (Shutter Speed) 1/15
Av (Aperture Value) 16.0
Exposure Compensation -2/3
ISO Speed 800
Flash On (built in flash) at Flash EC 0
I feel the OOF portions in this image are distracting
I think I should have used something to diffuse the flash... ?
Cropped to a vertical composition. Intentionally clipped the legs of the spider to draw more attention to the head. Do you feel this crop works?
Thanks, C&C awaited.
Off to Matheran tomorrow, hope to try out the equipment there.
