Absolutely stunning image!

The EXIF is interesting. The Sigma lens is a macro lens, which you then extend? Does that offer more than 1:1 magnification? Also, how do you manage to stack shots with a moving subject like this? Posted 11 years ago

With an extender you have 2:1 – This is often easier than shoot with the MP-E 65!
This spider has remained sitting quietly and there was absolutely no wind. But you have to work fast :) Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago
