In those summer days, 💦raindrops can create natural mirrors

in #macrophotography6 years ago (edited)

Quick story

As the summer in EU is coming to a peak, we are getting a few of those small storms. It's like 5 minutes of rain and then is all over. For filming it's a bad, because the light is constantly changing, but for macro photography, another jackpot. If the light is right, a few raindrops can create mirrors, for the smallest animals. So let me show you what I made in those conditions.
Yesterday, as I was hunting for a storm (Another storm chase story is coming 😉), if found this little jumping spider. By the way, you know those guys are small? I mean really small. On average, from 6–25 mm (1/4 inch to 1 inch)😮
When I was leaning on the fence with my camera, to be more stable for the shot of the storm... We made eye contact 😨 He was just a few mm/inches away from me (my eyes), checking me out what I was doing. Curious little guys. Slowly I wanted to change my lens, he jumped away.... 😕

Cam: Sony a6000
Lens: Minolta 50 mm Macro
Set: F7.1/shutter 1/400 / Iso 300
Light: Sunlight, led light

So, because we were only of the edge of the storm, we did get some rain, but not much. Immediately after the rain stopped I decide, to go and look for the spider. After a few minutes of search, I got lucky and found him. But what I didn't expected is, when I saw him thru the macro lens. One word. PRICELESS

Cool spider! 🕷

I always feel like I should do more macro.....but I never do it.

LOL, that is a lot of eyes making an eye contact. Yes, the spiders have the tendency to lurk like that, this one probably was out to find something in a desperate situation. Great shot, by the way, you must have really got into his hair...
