I shot this interesting spider in a light tent with the D850 and 50mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor mounted on the PB-6 bellows. She is quite a striking spider and that is quite a set of labidognath chelicerae and fangs she has there! Given that she is a fairly large spider, that would be a bite that would definitely smart. Fortunately they are docile and reluctant to bite. The final image is a made up of 42 images focus stacked in Zerene. She was missing her left rear leg so I had to do a little bit of Photoshop "surgery" to give her one.
