Stare Down [5_062586]
Some clever lighting technique used here. I can say it's clever because Harold Davis has been a proponent of it for years. I didn't have to invest any $ either, as I already had on hand what I needed. You probably have it too!
This was handheld using a 50mm lens and a 32mm extension tube. It's a single shot and the shadow/reflection is natural.
By the way, the spider above devoured the one shown below. Devoured as in there was nothing at all left the next day!
This spider is an orb weaver with a very clean, crisp web. A kind viewer identified it as "Araneus diadematus". Probably a female due to the size of the abdomen.
