I was in the woods these days and I was looking for a subject to photograph, I didn't find many insects but among the dry leaves, I found a lot of spiders.
I recently purchased a flash Godox Ving V860IIIS and I must say I love it, I don't know how I lived until now without a flash 😁
I like to use the flash off-camera and move it around until I find a nice angle to create more dramatic results. I try to put it on a side or in the back not from the same direction as the camera because it will flatten the image
For the flash power, I use around 1/16 or 1/32, for iso I use 100, F 11
The hardest part is to get the subject in focus, I need to take a few shots in order to get the eyes in focus.
And when I have all set up the spider run away 😂
Most of the shots are cropped, I prefer to leave a little distance to get more in focus and crop after, then to be really close and don't have too much in focus.
Can't wait for warmer days to get more insects photos 😁
For editing I use Lightroom and Photoshop
I didn't need a tripod because I use the flash and it froze it pretty well
As you can see the spider are not too colorful so they can blend well with the surrounding
From what I found online are called Wolf spiders and are members of the family Lycosidae
This one was running away crossing that tiny wood bridge 😁
That is all for today, more photos soon 😊
