Hot Headed

This is Fang, every summer he comes around and builds his web. He gets a little pissed and frantically starts clearing water drops after I mist his web for effect. Now granted Fang has a physical disability which can be seen in the photo with closer inspection but that's no excuse for him to loose his temper at me.
If he knew that I added glycerin to the water that would piss him off even more because that keeps the water from naturally evaporating.

I think he is giving you the eyes.

Dave no question in my mind about it being a he, most many people don't know how to tell the difference between male and female spiders but I do! Paul

I didn't notice it was a he. And I like the water droplets.

This was about 1:2 for cropping room and it was gloomy and dark when I shot this and it’s been pushed big time in post already and I had to apply some serious NR to make it acceptable so a higher ISO would have made it unacceptable. I have a few others with a little more DOF but I choose this one since it shows him clearing the water drops from the web. Anyone notice he only has 7 legs? Paul

You beat me to it, Jim. Still some ISO headroom (if you don't mind 6400).

f/5.6 gives you a really short DOF with this lens. Did you try something larger, like f/16 .

At the smaller apertures, you will probably need some flash.
