Crab spider

Lord Vetinari

Whilst photographing a shieldbug I managed to disturb a mature female crab spider which fell onto the garden path. It first froze in the position it landed and then tried to scamper off.
All shots 5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash upto 4:1 mag. and focus stacked using zerene stacker.

I honestly don't know how you do it . You have such a small window of opportunity yet you manage to fire off a bunch of shots and get amazing shots like these.

Are you simply using continuous shooting through the focus range?

Thanks Ian

No I always use single shot and shoot roughly one shot a second when doing short stacks like these.

Cheers Brian. Whenever I try this I seem to end up with a mess
