This is a studio shot of a live jumping spider that is common around here. It was taken using the 5DIII/MP-E 65/MT-24EX with a DIY diffuser. I had the camera mounted on a tripod and used a focus rail.
I downloaded a trial version of Helicon Focus and stacked 20 images with it. Thanks for viewing and enjoy your Sunday!

Thanks for the comments. She was quite tired and hungry, I think. She moved a bit, but not so much. She was released back in the bushes...
So the idea is to catch the spider and keep her for a while to make her hungry and, thus, slow and docile? How long a while? I don't know much about spiders and would not want to let her starve too long considering that after docile comes dead.
I always wondered how people got there spiders (and other critters) to cooperate and all I could come up with was low temperatures. It seems starvation may be working too. It would be good to get them drunk on something; however, again, I figure that after drugged comes dead and I don't know how much those animals can take.
