The light box is at work. It's a cardboard box with the panels replaced with white opaque cloth. I set one light on top and the other two on opposing sides. For the background I used a piece of granite rock. I may try again and use diffusers on the flashes outside the box. It Will be interesting because she reflects everything.
It's a definite challenge. I had reflections off the spider before I shot, just from any light source in the room. Tough subject. She was grooming and I think I caught the fangs barely exposed
Very nice!! I would try to brighten up the last two just a little. The sharpness is good. Erv
thanks Erv. For some insane reason, I think the dark background highlights the insect. #2 could certainly be lighter. I'm wanting to improve so I may be wrong.
I've been following Uglies for a while now and decided to post a couple of pics. Makes me glad spring is almost here. Learned a lot from you guys. Long way to go!
