Tired after her dance the Jumping Spider composes herself.

Neon Rainbow Colored Jumping Spider: Sony Alpha a68 ~ Tamron 90mm 272E Macro Lens ~ ISO 100 ~ Shutter Speed 1.3s ~ F/16 ~ Natural Light ~ Exposure compensation 0.0

I shoot what I see in our garden/temple. Lately there have been a lot of Tree Spider shots. Yesterday I saw a Jumping Spider with neon rainbow colors.

On the left she is still and cautious as she watches me. Her stillness allowed me the opportunity to take this head on shot with eight eyes showing and a magnificent neon rainbow of colors.

But Jumping Spiders are notoriously fidgety. Which helped me to capture her colors in focus while the rest of her is blurred by her dance.

She is about 3mm wide. The background is the moss growing on one of our Rambutan trees. Shot in our garden/temple somewhere in the Philippines.

Nice shot.

Nice shot.

Not as unique as the dancing shot of her but it is interesting

Great capture of the subtle colors, sir.

Great capture of the subtle colors, sir.

I worked on the colors for a bit. With any luck one day I'll get a shot of her back which is pin stripped in bright neon blue.
