Artist's Comments

I came back to my house, from a great mtn bike ride, to find this little hatch...

Taken with the efs kit lens on my XTi... i really wish i could have had a better macro lens for this shot because the spiders were so small... this is a cropped image that i pushed the limits on resolution :(

edited in PS7: cranked up the saturation a little and brightened it up.. then turned the temp up, and cropped.

Dead Mother's Children by ~kurtywompus Comment by =shubat "Everyone is familiar with spiders but I don't think many have seen an eggsack hatch like this before. Just looking at it makes my skin crawl and that is part of what makes it a beautiful photograph. Everything just fits together so nicely." (Suggested by ~shubat and Featured by `KevLewis)

Thanks... the timing on this one was all luck! It did take a bit of work to get the right look... when i turned up the color temp is when it came alive.

what would you like to know about it? it is really pretty dark on the RAW image... but when i took it it was so visually stimulating that i knew it was going to be a great picture... i had to manuver around a bunch to get the right light because it was at sunset and i have trees screening the light. also... i was working on with the wrong lens. I really need to buy a 100mm macro lense to get shots like this to pop!

aww well is amazing i have a canon 540 :( i can't do much with my macro hahahhahaha :clap:

don't under estimate the power of a pocket cam. I have see some great macro shots from a canon powershot.

so where do you come up with your imagery for your work?
:iconkurtywompus:
Thanks... it appears that I am turning into a geek taking pictures of bugs all the time :)
