Black Beauty, Pt. 1 - _TNY_7558

A quite large female European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) which possibly is the darkest one I've come across.

 

She had built her web about 2.1 m / 7' above the ground so this was shot using Live View with my arms outstretched and I'm quite pleased with the end result.

 

This is one of the first shots I've done with the Yongnuo YN24EX twin flash, coupled with a pair of 3D printed diffusers made by JasonCanning - How do you guys like the diffusion?

 

(Check out Jason's page to see what the diffusers look like!)
