thank you for sharing teruroberto!

Beautiful and inspiring result! Can you tell us the technical details?

just one single foto, or a stack? aperature and lens? flash?

You are very welcome Carmen. Obviously it is a stack.
Technical details: Canon 5D mark II, canon mp-e 65mm, nissin flash with homemade diffuser, f 5.6, exposure time 1/200, tripod.

thank you for details Roberto! Again, excellent results, which suggest considerable perseverance.

To be honest, the extended depth of focus is so convincing that it did not appear so obvious to me. At first sight, I thought probably a stacked photo, which is challenging with a live specimen in the field, or less probably a very large spider.

¿did the spider move, necesitating a re-start of the focus stack?

the depth of field was very shallow..and of course the spider moved her legs couple of times

Yes, I can imagine many re-starts!

The fact that the resulting focus stacked photo was not so obviously focus stacked (at least to me) can perhaps be considered indicative of successful focus stacking.

The impressions of others in this regard would be interesting.
