Description

I like spiders and fear them at same time. They are amazing and cute creatures (especially jumping spider species), but if any spider (even very small one) will touch my skin, i'll not be happy, definitely.

These crab spiders, Misumena Vatia, is one of my favorite species. In Russia, we call them "flower spiders", because they usually hide inside a flowers, waiting for prey, and almost perfectly camouflage: very often we see yellow spiders on yellow flowers, and white spiders - on white. These spiders looks unusual, quite large, calm creatures (maybe, they completely rely on their camouflage?), and all this makes them perfect target for macro photographers.

This picture was taken in Moscow region, where lots of these spiders can be found every summer. This was one of my first tests of macro setup with additional lens Helios 44, used as additional magnifier. Later, this setup become my main tool for snowflake macro photography.

This image was processed from single RAW photo, without averaging and focus stacking techniques. Depth of field is acceptable for this portrait image, but focus stacking with several source shots will give much better results.
