If the comments are positive and the rating improves I'll post more. Spider was over 50 when these were taken. I have her on film when she was in her 30s.
I know the pictures for this submission taken with my first digital camera aren't perfect. My 3rd generation digital does a much better job. But Spider is nowhere to be found for a reshoot.
invest in a decent tripod, explain to the spider what you're trying to achieve and plan for frustration. Post only that which you're happy with or she is happy to show. Don't give up.
