Shelob's lair I've spotted this spider on a flower on our balcony. So I couldn't resist and needed to photograph it. So I grabbed my tripod + macro lens (incl. extension tube) and my DIY ringlight to get those highlights/better light on the spider. I shot about 80 pictures from the spider and blended the best of them in Photoshop together. I did this manually because the auto blend function wasn't clean enough. At the end I used Silver Efex Pro and done. Sounds easy =) but it took some tiiiiiiiiime.
Equipment used. Tripod, Sony A65 with my Konika Minolta 35-70 Macro + 36mm extension tube & DYI Ringlight
