Poor thing, so glad you rescued him. Nice find and photo, Katy. Guess your camera is back to being attached to you. I have been rescuing lady bugs from our pool. Have not been able to get a clear shot of one yet though. How big was this spider?
Can you give me a clue of how you did the standing on the apple thing. I am new and just learning setting so if I can do it, please explain it in terms I will understand. lol.
@miata2u In simplest terms I set an apple on a surface in front of the camera on a tripod. Then I tried to figure out how far back to stand. Set the timer, run to the spot and pose. Mark the spot with a stick. Check the shot. Make adjustments in my position and do it all over again. It took several tries for me to stand in just the right spot that made it look like I was standing on the apple. It is called forced perspective. Ask more if you need to. When you get your shot posted please tag me. I would love to see it.
Noooo waaaay!! That is a BIG spider to be skimming along the top of the water. I took a pic of a similar looking spider last year and when I looked closely I realized it had tons of little baby spiders on its back!!
This is such a great composition! Love your use of negative space!!
aww...I am glad you saved the wittle bitty spidey! You are a hero! Or a heroine! I love the pic of him floating on the water due to surface tension! Very cool! I will have to show my kids and explain that concept.
It's very surreal Katy! Spider hero! I had a spider descend from the ceiling (tiny one) as I was in the kitchen. I announced that he had invaded my space and that I would gladly escort him outside this one time, but if he tries to enter my space again, I can't give him another escort, except to the toilet! ha! My kids thought I was so crazy.
