British Funnel Web Spider
Apr 7, 2013 17:07:04 #
Just trying a few different settings today to see if I can get any better shots.
So here's (I think) a UK Funnel Web spider (Amaurobius fenestralis) at home in my garden.
I've backed off the speedlight to 60%. F11, 1/250th, ISO250.
She's a far bigger subject (~8mm) but even so I think the resolution is a bit sharper.
Your opinions greatly appreciated.

Not too shabby!
Downloaded & enlarge, both images appear slightly back-focused from eyes.

Thanks - excuse my ignorance but what does that mean? Is it that my DOF is too high (i.e. on her legs?) I tried to focus on her head and mouth-parts on the overhead shot.Downloaded & enlarge, both images appear slightly back-focused from eyes.

As you can see from the two enlargements below, your DoF is behind the eyes, which lead me to believe this was unintentional to have eyes OoF.
