Spider eyes setup

Post by Olympusman »

This is the setup I'm using to shoot spider eyes etc.

The fiber optic illuminator lights the diffuser for ping-pong ball type illumination, but I am using a ketchup cup from McDonald's which gives me very good diffusion and great light transmission.

There is a blue Rosco gel on the microscope illuminator so that I can tint the normally white field around the subject and can adjust the brightness on the scope illuminator to balance the brightness ratio with the fiber optic illumination.
