You can find plenty of tutorials in the web on the reversed lens technique.. :-)
Very nice. I have never heard of that technique.
@emj.patterson~ Its a pleasure indeed!! @Saarbrigger~ Thanks.. :-)
I'm glad Dan asked that question! Thanks for sharing your technique :)
@Dandoucette~ Thanks mate! Actually I don't ever get them stay still or there's not any way that I know of to make them steady. After spotting one fellow I keep following it and try to get closer without freakking it out. If they try to run off, I just block the path and generally they take a u-turn in such cases. After spending a good 10 minutes or so they seem to get used to me and that is the moment I start taking the photographs. This is the process of most of my jumping spider shots. I have been practicing this for about two years and I have shot more than 100 (Not Species, just quantity) jumpers following this process. My gear is a Pentax K200D and to get the magnification I use a reversed 28mm prime lens. I have an external flash with diffuser that helps me control the light. @Liam~ That's all I use for these shots. Thanks everyone for the appreciation indeed!!
Super shot! Are you using a Macro-converter? Raynox? More powerful?
Great photos! How do you get them to stay still? What lens/camera are you using?
