00:39Hello again everyone, and today I'm doing something that was a little bit unplanned, which is photographing
00:50a little jumping spider.
00:54I was sat at my desk doing a little bit of work, and this little guy came crawling up
01:01the wall behind the computer, and it made me think instantly of Stuart Wood, who's brilliant
01:16at photographing these little guys.
01:18I'll leave a link to his channel in the description below.
01:23So I grabbed a flower out of the garden, which is, I think it's a wild onion, and it's a
01:29beautiful
01:30little purple flower.
01:32And I thought I would have a go at photographing this little guy, because they are so cute,
01:38these jumping spiders.
01:40And I think this one is called a zebra jumping spider because of the patterns on his body.
01:48So I've just set up my, I've got the 100mm 2.8 macro lens on here, and I'm, I'm spacing
01:59the
01:59wrong way, I can't, I wish I had a better set up to do this.
02:12And I'm shooting with, on, in manual mode, and I've got it at f8, 60, 60th of a second
02:21f8, um, at 1600 ISO, and the flash is set to, um, uh, TTL, with a minus one exposure compensation.
02:38Uh, I'm just going to try and get him back up onto the, uh, onto the flower.
02:48I'm really trying to be as gentle as I can, because I really don't want to hurt this little
02:52guy.
02:53Okay, but it's a purple flower, and it sets him off absolutely beautifully.
03:04I don't know if I managed to nail focus on that, it looked lovely.
03:08He's just poking his head over the top of the flower, and it looked stunning.
03:42Okay, I think I'm going to let him go.
03:44And carry on doing some macro in the garden, so I shall, um, catch up with you out there.
03:53Thank you again.
03:53Thank you again.
04:07Feel about me.
