With the speed at which we are moving I'm not sure whether or not I already posted this photo here. I wanted to write a little about the "making of" of this photo
Spiders are very shy creatures, and not seldomly nocturnal by nature. This is very much true for our latest new family member. A Poecilotheria spec Lowlands female
In order to take this photo I had to make a few preperations.
1) set up flash and remotes during daylight
2) test the settings and place the readied camera on a surface that does not touch the enclosure of the spider in any way
3) wait for the spider to show up, and get the shot
I thought about Stanley Kubrik and his luxury of being able to use candlelight. All I had was a small night light in a different room, and the door opened some 2". All the light that leaked in was what I had to focus
I got the shot at the 3rd attempt though.
Now this got me thinking about the differences between OVF and EVF. Will an EVF camera lik ethe Fuji be able to operate under such conditions at al? More things to consider ...
