First Jumping Spiders

GOLDENORFE

finally found a load of jumpers, tried best to prevent highlights blowing as they were quite light coloured.
took over 200 frames for 12 keepers.
hope you like.

I'm going to have to give this stacking thing a go. Brian, what do you mean by "some banding on a couple of the stacks?"

Michelle- if you look at #3 & #4 in the foreground - you'll see it goes alternately in and out of focus where a focus slice has been missed. Fraid it's something I'm sensitive to as I do a lot of focus stacking. Oddly you can often get away with this on the subject itself as it's not so obvious but shows up on detailed flat foreground.

Ohhhhh nice going Phil got the Jumper and Dinner as well !
These guys are way too quick for me, I have only once successful photographed one......they are gone before I can get anywhere near them.

Nice work, I'm sure you will figure out the stacking technique,
you've done way better than I could do ... excellent job
