I took these photos back in 2013 when I first got my D7100. I was checking them out today and decided to reprocess them to see if I could improve them from what I could do back then. I did see quite an improvement from my previous attempts. This is a male Mopsus Mormon Jumping Spider. I...

My newest Jumping Spider.

Here's one I took the other day, the rest of the keepers from the days shoot are posted in my " Macro using CPL filter " thread.

Maybe not my best shot for the month, but this is one that I was finally happy with after changing out the lights in my lightbox for LED's and having to experiment with diffusers and reflectors.

I have put the top light back in for these next lot. The pen needs a good clean as well as the sensor, fingerprints and those marks on the finial, I am not sure what they are. This angle is how I would be more likely to show the pen at. This is my attempt at cloning out the reflection on...

Another try at it today. I have the A2 sheet of white card, I cut a hole in the middle for the lens to poke through. This lot has the top light removed. I used a marbled background to help camouflage the sensor spots because I didn't want to spend time removing them ( I will clean my sensor...

Can anyone recommend any software to tether my Nikon to my ipad ? I found one that I might download the free trial, www.camerarc.com Is the ipad screen big enough to benefit using it ?

Well I have changed the lighting in my lightbox. I swapped out the old hot lights for led's, I have started out with less diffusers than before, but I think I will have to add more to soften the light more, and do some mods to what is reflecting off the shiny bits. These are some Wedding pens...

These black ants are large, some of them are up to 10mm long ( 3/8" ), but they have proven hard to photograph. They just don't stop, its hard enough keeping them in the viewfinder let alone in the focus zone :rolleyes:.
