NSFPAOA (Not Suitable For Pat And Other Arachnophobes)

Kill it now. Quickly.

Salticus scenicus, it seems. By the way, I took 75 shots… only kept 7, and only 2 are really decent.

I would also go and get some roving to make my very own:

Technically that’s a peacock spider, but I could modify it.

Cool shot. These critters are really hard to catch. :slight_smile:

That’s what I’d do:

Crop, brighten the image, white balance, denoise, sharpen, and some local contrast. :slight_smile:

I’d give it a chroma curve boost and the kodak elite color 400 emulation.

It appears Bob Ross has gotten to that spider!

I like to think I’m a reasonable guy. But I swear I will burn this forum to the ground if I have to.

In fact - I’m going to see myself out of this topic… :laughing: :smiling_imp:

Oh man, every one the posts in here is a giant bag of NOPE.

:fire: :fire:

There’s no way in Discourse to ignore a thread, is there?

If there is, that’s the proper course of action.

Don’t get fooled by the pixels. The critter was 3-4mm long. Tiny-weeny-cutie spider. Of course, being a “jumping spider”, it can jump at you:)

You make it look way sharper than it really is, or is it just the small size that makes it look that way?

Nice crop… makes it look like it reached the end of the world.

The co-ownership trustee will go after me when they find out I re-painted my railing in purple :slight_smile:

It’s a combination of both. :slight_smile:

Sharpness on the hairs is impressive.

Release the napalm :slight_smile:

My own shot at it with RT (but I’m a beginner at this game). The indicated WB in the original image was not that good, because in this picture I had to change the color temp quite a bit to make the wood railing look like the original.
