    5 years of practice and a oot of luck just paid off: Mama spiders eggs are hatching

    5 years of practice and a oot of luck just paid off: Mama spiders eggs are hatching

    It never hurts to be lucky. The newly hatched spiders are so tiny that I didn't know they were in the shot till i put the shot on the big screen.

    Tree Spider Eggs Hatching: Sony Alpha a68 ~ Tamron 90mm 272E Macro Lens ~ ISO100 ~ Shutter Speed 0.8s ~ F/16 ~ Exposure Compensation 0.0 ~ Tree Spider on Giant Butong Bamboo in our garden/temple on the side of a sleepy volcano.

    A situation which was fraught with potential over exposure issues, but you have managed an ideal exposure level.

    I'm thrilled with the result and the tamron is superb. Considering that it is one of the lower priced macro lenses for an Alpha mount makes it even better.

    I did have to burn two little bright spots on two of the babies but other than that it worked well. All of the nagging my Manfred must have paid off.

    On the A68 there is a setting for 'Creative Style' I have been shooting with the contrast set to +3. Yesterday I returned to 0. Seems to have made a difference.

    Congratulations accepted. But as noted a lot of credit goes to the lens and camera.
