Default Along came a spider..

Well, Just a little background, News years day I threw out my back somehow really bad, spent the night in er via a ambulance ride and a back board fully strapped in. So hurts to stand, sit, walk, move or pretty much anything, so please forgive the blur in this pic.

I shot this hand held after seeing him making his night time web. Was one of those moments that screamed hey great photo op

Apture f/5.6
shutter 1/125

For the flash, I knew the pure white wall behind him would be a pain, so I held a sheet of tissue paper infront of the flash and angled it upwards in a hope to bounce it up from him and not directly down on it. didnt work to well

Anyway, here is the pic. Little PP in cs4 and focus magic.

Thanks for looking.

Ouch...that sounds like it would hurt, hope you recover real quick. Cool spider shot, good detail and shadow.
