    1. Thanks a lot Christine, indeed she was rebuilding her web ! Posted 3 years ago
  2. Superb detail! Tripod or handheld? Posted 3 years ago
    1. Thanks Ferdy, handheld, but it's a small manual focus bracketing made of 3 pics, just to add a bit of depth of field and keep the details as well Posted 3 years ago
      1. Another of your secrets added to my notes. Thanks :) Posted 3 years ago
        1. Haha my pleasure ! It really depends of the subject and the situation, when I can I am using it to make a small stack just to see what I am aimable to do with it but in some situation I will try to make a stack of 20 pictures or more, indeed the result has to be better with a tripod but I like being able to move easily and quickly on the field Posted 3 years ago
  3. I've never tried field focus bracketing. You've inspired me. Posted 3 years ago
    1. My pleasure ! give it a try, of course the considerations are totally different from studio focus bracketing and compromises need to be made, but it gives a lot of opportunity on the results ! Posted 3 years ago
  4. Well done Posted 3 years ago
    1. Thanks ! Posted 3 years ago

The redback spider is a species of venomous spider indigenous to Australia. It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus "Latrodectus", the widow spiders. The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside.
