day 209: "help me! help me! help me!". there is a nasty spider that has taken up real estate outside of our back kitchen window. i figured a cool shot would be a slight knock off of the movie "the fly". i cut out a little paper man (easier to identify thank a little paper fly-man like in the movie) and popped him into the web. the spider shot down and started to kick out paper man. it was pure creepiness to watch. i had to repeat this several times to get the shot i wanted. finally the spider gave up and shot back up the web. i went ghetto with the lighting with a cheap home depot light hung out of my back kitchen window to light the spider so my macro could actually focus. then i shot a flash through an umbrella at half power at 35mm. i had a lot of fun doing this one but now i swear i feel spiders skittering across me.
