couple of macros to share

[shazz501]

took these this evening in my garden,first one is a spider who started out in my house but i moved her to my garden a few weeks ago and she made her home on my folding chair,both were taken with my 350d,tamron 18-200mm lense,31mm macro tube,spider was taken on a tripod,the fly was handheld :D

Number is two is outstanding. Number one seems a little on shallow on your depth of field. For some reason, I also have had problems capturing a good sharp image of an orb weaver.

Hey Shazz, that second shot is fantastic - great job.

[Bald Eagle]

I agree, that second shot is WOW, very sharp, well done.:D

[RockOne]

Yep definitely the second shot. Great composition, and sharp clear subject stands out against the background !

[shazz501]

Both good captures, the spider looks like a Cross Spider.

#2 is great, very sharp and well composed. #1 is a little soft though. Thanks for sharing.

Man, our hand is more stable than the tripod , Lolll.
You are right about the wind, as you wand to take a macro, you don't know where it comes from. The second is fine, just needed some light at the bottom of the fly.
Hope to see more shots of your spider.

Regards
