Paper Spider*

Lighting details: in a plain regular heavy plastic milk crate (could use a cardboard box, which I actually didnt have handy but a 100w light does heat up so then safety concerns do come to mind), put a clamp lamp inside pointing up then a piece of frosted glass on top (borrowed from a shelf). In the end , it's like using a softbox as a setup table and arranging the pieces right on it. So in turn the end result should be that the soft light is illuminating the objects from below.

PS: saturation/hue boost, levels/curves for contrast, cropped, resize, noise reduction, sharpened.

Thanks for leaving your comments everyone :)

Cat, the 100mm/2.8 macro is a very versatile lens, I'd recommend it.

Great shot and thanks for the details on the setup. Hadn't thought of that for a soft box, but I think I'll give it a shot!

This is too funny. I had a feeling I forgot something when I posted this late last night. This is just me playing around with paper abstracts. Dont worry I have more to post ;)

PhotoNUT, awesome to see you back !

Maybe Techo's not sure about the shot & is waiting to see wot the reaction is before claiming credit for it:-)

Techo you forgot to put your name below the photo. Great shot, would love to see the setup.

Even after reading the details I still don't know what I'm looking at:-) It looks quite nice but I don't really know how to view it.
