Spiders on Board!
 

Doing some housecleaning on board, Suzanne spotted this little guy in
the head sink. I admit I posed him on the dime, but they he ran off.
Good luck on a boat even when they're this tiny!

Rob's and family are in for a good time when that baby spider and it's
100's of un-seen brothers and sisters mature. Check out the picture of
his father on a diime

Bon's baby spider is too glassy to be a recluse....

Absolutely... I believe it's a Mimic.... they favour imitation as a
defence technique. I'm certain it feels quite at home on Bobsprit's boat ...
since his vessel also imitates a much more formidable boat. Although capable
of much bravado... once exposed or cornered they run for cover... again much
like Bobsprit. I'm certain the transparency or glassiness speaks volumes...
never mind the attraction to imitation woodgrain.

Focus needed to be back enough to be on the spiders head not on the
edge of the dime.....good effort otherwise.


Look again, Ozzy. The forlegs are soft, just as the dime edge is. Focus
is dead on the eyes. I used Unsharp Mask selective to add the depth.

Sorry Bob, the upper foreleg left of frame is in perfect focus and is
exactly same depth as the dime edge centre frame.
Head is slightly behind that and is not in focus.
Notice the blurring of the palp and the reflections on the 'face'.
Find the little critter and try again...still a good effort though.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Next time he could superglue it to the dime so he'd have time to get his
settings straight...

Sorry for you, Ozzy. But it's clear that my post abilities were able to
fool you nicely. The edge of the dime is not in focus. It's been
sharpened using USM settings. A quick look at the legs at the edge of
the coin easily show this. I can send you the original file if you
like.
Also...you might want to refrain from judging focus on a 109K file. No
one on Nikonians can do it and neither can you.

But I know you'll just keep saying otherwise so I'll prove it to you
quick and easy. You have a LOT to learn about digital images and how to
tweak them:

170% Crop of eyes. Look at the hairs and pixel depth, Ozzy. Quite easy
to see, and quite sharp at this massive crop thanks to the sharpest
lens around. You don't get 3 pixel wide hairs at 170% unless it's
sharp, Ozzy.

Now here is the same crop (actually 185%) of the leg at the edge of the
dime...unaltered. Depending on your setup, these thumbnails are small,
but you can barely resolve the hairs on the leg. It's soft. Impirt
these pics into a viewer to enlarge them.

As one follows the leg hairs back to the mandibles they become sharper,
and pixel depth drops. Hope this helps....but I somehow doubt it.

Ahhhh, now I get it...you take lousy pictures and fix em up later.....
That's OK,
One day youll be able to post unedited pics and be proud of them.



Like I said, Ozzy....you have a LOT to learn.
Here's some more help....shoot in RAW (Or Nikon's NEF) and you must
apply USM in most cases as in camera sharpening is defeated. This is
how pro's work, setting USM up for their workflow. In macro work, with
shallow DOF USM is usually not applied selectively, but I wanted the
dime edge to be sharper...and it worked. The point is that you had NO
IDEA where the focus point was and I've proven it. Still worse, you
failed to understand the most elemental fact in that a shot downsized
by 500% can't be judged much for sharpness. Of course posting the crop
from the original shot proved it was sharp once and for all.
Here's a hint: Even your Canon (not known to be a sharp camera due to
the anti-aliasing filter) is conservative for ICS and you will probably
be astonished by applying USM to retrieve detail.

Hope this helps...but I SERIOUSLY doubt it!

Bet you're glad digital came along....you'd be totally stuffed with
film eh!?



Uh, yeah...cuz Ansel Adams never edited, cropped or dodged images or
even curled negatives to get his results!
Bwahahahahahahaha!
Ozzy, you're really grasping, dude. EVERY pro edits their images. With
DSLRs you have no choice because out of auto mode, key components are
designed to be worked in post.
I have a pretty good feeling you don't even own a DSLR and if you do,
quite clearly you don't know hot to use it. Your comments prove that
beyond all doubt.
Know what the native contrast settings are for your Canon? Not likely!
Now I know why you've never posted more tha few pics and why they're
all P&S quality. Get back to me with a shot like this and we can talk.
