Orchard Orb Weaver & mite
Another, wider view of a small mite clinging to an Orchard Orb Weaver taking down its web. Nikon D40, Nikon 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens focused at infinity, with the objective from a junk Soligor 90-230mm lens reverse mounted on the 105.
Here, using only one instead of two objectives results in significantly more field width than the image of the same spider posted immediately before this one. Exposure was at f/16, ISO 400, 1/2000 second, with lighting provided by a Nikon SB23 speedlight flashed through a home-made diffuser. The D40 provides flash sync up to 1/4000 second when using an external flash.
