spider & web

i was just playing around with this one and thought i'd share c&c welcome

I like it - spiders are fun with a macro lens - I'd probably be inclined to edit it more along these lines (adjusted levels, colour corrected, touch of high pass sharpening, burn brush round the lower and right edges, 50% multiply overlay)

Oh, creepy crawler, gives me the hibby jibbys, so a great capture.

thanks Stuart & Robin, i like your take on it Stuart, i'm not brave enough to take it that far but i do like, Robin if it gave you the hibby jibbys then that has to be good right? :lol:

Ok, setting aside the fact that my skin is crawling...I like Stuart's edit, it brings out the color in the little creepy and it looks a bit more ominous in the darker colors. Great capture!

thanks Terri, :lol: anything to scare the bejesus outta ya

Yes, you caught a wonderful image to make it real enough for me to have chills just to look at it.

coooooooool :lol:

I was playing with the spider a little (Stuart's version)...I did a little burning and saturated the colors on the spider's body and limbs...and it really punched it up a lot. Just a thought...

please post your take too Terri, i'd love to see it

Here ya go...

wow what a difference, you couldn't see any green in my original, then you could se a little on Stuarts version but you have really brought the legs to life with that Terri thanks

Yuck!! Good work!

You know I'm going to have nightmares tonight...there's a reason I don't shoot these things!!! Glad you like it!

thanks Cathie, i really pity my poor mum just now cos she might see some of your poisonous spiders over there, i just know she'll be checking under the toilet seat before she sits on it and in her bed before she gets in :lol:

The poisonous ones are mostly tiny little things - the big scary ones are harmless unless you leave the highway at 100kmh when they clamber over your drivers side mirror... :)

Good shot Sharon very close and sharp. I also like the two reworks.

Dont worry about spiders here, the only ones I have seen are Daddy longlegs. Pretty harmless. I haven't seen any Redbacks this summer, probably too hot!

I found four, last week, Jan... big plump ones, too... my wife wouldn't let me take photo's in case we lost 'em... :-(

(One was under the handle of the green wheelie bin, too - that one *could* have got me on a good day...)

Nice capture Sharon and good reworks by the others.

I don't have a problem with spiders, I have one living in my bathroom, it is fun watching it deal with the flies that get caught in its web.

You don't have problems with that Rooster of yours trying to eat the spider??

It IS a great shot.........
But it's dead now I squished him !!!!!

thanks guys & gals

WOW - awesome - I actually like the extent of the web on this first shot -but the edits work superbly - the black background adds atmosphere.
Great stuff y'all
