I never knew it was so hard to take a good photo until I tried to take good photo's.

Yesterday, There was two tiny cute spiders outside. Green legs, yellow strip on a black n white body. Under side had a bright orange area that glowed like a lighting bug.

50 photos later I have to give up and go to work. The wind had the webs bouncing like a ball everything was a blurr and out of focus.

Before that I set up on some old crossties, knowing when I rolled one over there would be creatures everywhere. Well they were but they had no clue what I was saying when I said hold still.

I don't see how you guys and gals get such good macro's.
