Some more crab spider shots.

Some more from yesterday. These shots have had no boost to the saturation the colours were actually this rich.

Click on pics for larger sizes.













These might not be the last ones

Hi ya

Another very nice set, great colours as well. Like the DOF in the second one, you caught the eyes well.


Cheers Holo

Re: Some more crab spider shots.

The second one is my favourite. Great composition, lovely colours, nicely focused and such creamy bokeh.

Cheers.

Re: Some more crab spider shots.

Nice little fellas. I have to say that compared to your other shots (which are pretty amazing) these are n't as good. I think that is because the spiders are pretty similar in colour to the background. If they were on green leaves they would look a lot better but I guess that would have been impossible.

Really Nice shots. I rather like the colours even if I do dislike spiders.

May I ask what lens you're using for these superb shots?
