Pretty close to 1:1 here. Jumping spiders are curious creatures. I urge people who aren't too frightened (and assuming we're not talking about some psycho-crazy man-eating species) to hold their hand fairly close to the spider, above and in front of it. Hold it pretty steady and watch that little fella jump straight onto you! It rocks!! :))))
Digital editing inspired by a video from Zack 'One Light' Arias, I decided to try for a more clean white than I might otherwise get with my macro close ups, I kinda like the result.
Strobist info is straightforward SB600 shooting through a stofen omnibounce held off camera next to lens at approx 1/16 or 1/8 (I took several shots, I cannot be certain which) and triggered using Nikon CLS on board flash (which was switched off). This is pretty much my favourite setup for shooting small creatures.
Digital editing - (watching Zack's video @ www.zarias.com/white-seamless-questions-part-1-video/) I decided to tweak my 'floor' a bit by using the dodge tool around the legs and simply selecting and deleting the space around the subject to the background colour of white (the video explains this a lot better than I can! :D) I started with an increased surrounding white background but decided to change the focus with a closer crop than the original out of camera image.
Additionally I did a bit of sharpening to pick out the hairs a bit better using a high pass filter sharpen. The siggy on the right is new, any comments? :D
Here’s my Savers finds cleaned up. Gi Clone, Midge and Blaine got the bodies. Blaine got an arm transplant so he has proportional hands and yea.
I boiled Malibu Repro so her head is less squished and put her on my other repro body but I’m debating on putting her on a jointed body cuz her head can accept modern neck systems well.
Dana got boiled too and her head is severely less warped now and I made her hair less tangled but it’s still super thick and big. Her bangs are rooted in a triangular pattern so I can’t just boil them to lay flat or outright remove them without rerooting.
Running about twenty down will probably not concern the handful of passengers on train no. 8965 1357 Gernrode to Hasselfelde on the 7th February 2013. The crew of Mallet 99 5906-5 try to make up time after crossing the main road at Sternhaus-Haferfeld.
He was about 4" from the camera. I was so happy today because my buddy hadn't showed up since the snow hit last November. I could always hear him in the trees nearby but he wouldn't come down for a peanut.
After the run, the participants enjoyed the other opportunities available during the 4th Annual Back-to-School Color Run and Field Day held on Fort Jackson, Aug 18.
"We do this just to get the kids fired up for school and bring the families together for a fun fitness day," said Darius Lane, CYS Youth Sports and Fitness Director.

For some reason, this house recalls me of the game Maniac Mansion.

UP SD40-2 No. 2987 heads a northbound Oak Creek coal train passing beneath the EJ&E bridge at North Chicago. The old U.S. Steel water tower still stands at the south end of the site of the former North Chicago Mill, in July 1999.
...a City of Benbrook water truck shows up on scene to help fill the brush trucks. This cuts down on them having to make long trips to the nearest hydrant.
An AC44CWCTE delivered in May 2005 gets a needed rinse from a spring rainstorm while idling at a red signal.
Its things like this that bring one to live in such places... Savage Inequalities? Maybe, but this addiction doesn’t help... I no longer have empathy for your weak will, grow up, life is full of disappointment... Grow Up..
The pavilion and clubhouse at the Grangefield Ground, home to Stockton Cricket Club. Captured during the closing stages of a drawn cross-Tees derby with Thornaby in the Premier Division of the North Yorkshire & South Durham Premier League.

Close up of "Washed Away," altar by Chloe Rose
In honor of those lost in the storm of Hurricane Katrina, Chloe Rose created an altar that is intended for people to remember one of the greatest natural disasters in the history of the United States. Chloe wrote in her altar statement that "the effects of Katrina are still being felt six years later. Communities are forever erased, families torn apart and [the effects of Katrina are] something thought to be unimaginable in our country."
The focus of the altar is an old cabinet door of a house, which is symbolic of the many homes lost in the storm. This piece intertwines two cultures that are rich in tradition - Day of the Dead folk art and New Orleans Voodoo.
