Incredible picture of the spider. Maybe you can explain what the spider did here. Did it get out of its body to grow?
phfrancke
yes, the background I textured and painted in, the spider is photograph capture of his shell. I believe they molt (I'm not sure if this is the right word for this) and leave their external shell behind and then harden up bigger and better. I found it in my shed and took it inside. I didn't touch it holding the dirty web only and then dangled it for the photo (stack of 20 or so). I had to shut all doors and turn off woodstove and fans to keep it from moving in the slightest breeze. What was strange to me were some of the much smaller webs that were between it's legs, it is almost as if another smaller spider later made it's home in the left-over shell. Thank you for asking about this, these are the strangest of creatures...

Impressive and beautiful!

I really like the way you have painted in the background. The texture and color are very complimentary to the spider husk. I have to ask about focus stacking: do you have a tripod mount that lets you incrementally move the entire camera back or forth or do you start at a point and slowly zoom in with the lens?

It pretty much has to be moving the camera at these distances. You've got to minimize all handling of the camera, so yes, moving the camera is the way to go. On a rail...
