Challenge: A Is For _______ (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: studio room
Date: May 9, 2010
Aperture: 8
ISO: 250
Shutter: 5 seconds
Galleries: Macro
Date Uploaded: May 4, 2010

 Two chairs were placed on the floor. A mirror was placed on the chairs, creating a bridge. A piece of 2x4 with holes, was used to hold the stick. This was placed on the mirror. Two speedlights were used. One on camera and one remoted, placed to the right. This flash was bounced into a white umbrella. When the exposure started, the lights were turned off. First curtain sync, trapped the spider. I then proceeded to wave a glowing orb, behind the spider. This created the shadowed legs and crazy green. Very little pp on image.

Not sure how this will be reacted to. Spider and crazy green, I think it may be love it or hate it! lol

I like it...

The motion from the spider's legs makes this shot. Nice catch!
