Fine details captured here. Wish to see spider's legs more in focus. Good set of light and lighting.
I guess that you used here ring and lens mounted in reverse.
The final effect is great.
Regards, Michal.

Great technique and very innovative, almost like an invisible extension tube. The problem with doing this is you lose dof hence the oof areas. If you get an extension tube try taking multiple shots focussing on different areas of the object without moving the camrea, then blend the photo's as layers in PS and you have all the object in focus. Ciao

It's very impressive that you were able to capture the details of this tiny jumping spider so well when using the technique you described, especially as they usually don't stay still for that long and their big hunter's eyes can see very well. It sounds as if you were creating an invisible set of extension tubes - ingenious :) The DOF will always be very limited at this distance, but you've caught the top eyes and hairs very well. Have you tried using a reversing ring with your 18-55? The results can be excellent too.

Hi all! No I didn´t use a reversing ring. I did all just out of my hands. Just turned around the lens and held closely to the body. I know it could be done better, but I am really amazed by this result. greets Didi

If you don't already know by now I feel I should warn you that macro photography is highly addictive :) It's another level of hidden strangeness and beauty. It's too late for me, and I'm not even that good at it. You have been warned ;)
