Macro: Daddy Long Legs
Squeek Photography - Orlando, Lakeland & Tampa Photography / BLOG
I noticed today in the bathroom an unusually large number of these little guys around in there. The give me the creeps... but I grabbed the extension tubes, reverser ring, my 50mm f/1.8, SB800 [flash with gary fong lightsphere], my pocketwizards and tripod and thought I'd see what my new reverser ring could do. It's hard to get something in focus for sure... but not too shabby... considering this guy's body is about the size of a tip of a pen. With his big 'ol legs he's about the size of a nickel - I'm not sure what he really is... but growing up we always called these "daddy long legs". I know they're some type of spider...?
All I really know for sure is that this house we are living in [renting] is INFESTED with these and wolf spiders [which I will not go anywhere near].
I was really surprised at how he reacted to the flash. He turned and kinda reared up at the lens - if he wasn't so incredibly tiny I probably would have left him alone at that reaction. But I figured I'd keep trying to get a decent image. This is the best of the bunch... even with the tripod it was pretty difficult.
