I applied some Ansel Adams and it worked nicely.

Excellent shots, Brian.

I envy both your perseverance and your view of the Universe!

Hi Brian,

Close up detail on the second one is excellent but ah think they're both over-exposed.

What a stand-still object ! I like the second image and I agree with Robert that it is a bit overexposed .

I don't recall Ansel Adams doing any macro work..

Brian, fantastic and beautiful two photos to be very proud of. I wouldn't know where to start. Well done.

Two great images there, Brian

I'm loving this subject. The more I look at it, the more faces I see! Three sets of eyes on the abdomen, one portrait on the thorax. Great image, I think the exposure is just fine.

If that spider is as big and it looks I won't be dropping by for tea Brian.

Hi Boab, if they are overexposed it's not by much. perhaps it is just that you are used to darker images from me?

It would comfortably(?) sfit in the palm of a ten year old. But if my identification of it as a Camel Spider is accurate they do have a nasty bite.

Technically it is just two treatments of one shot.
