I've been lucky to have visited Trinidad and Tobago twice for photo trips. For someone who likes to do a lot of macro of insects and spiders, it can be quite overwhelming in the rainforest there. However, I usually don't pass up an opportunity to photograph a jumping spider .
This is a very tiny ant mimic jumper. It was on the forest floor hopping about and waving it's front legs to mimic an ant's antenna. I used all the magnification I had to get this image size. I shot up a lot of film for just a few keepers. It's hard enough to spot these with the naked eye, let alone get a face portrait. Nikon F5, Nikkor 105mm micro, lots of extension, 4T and 3T diopters, SB-28 flash on flash bracket, Fugi Velvia, handheld. |
