Spiders, FINALLY!

I've been waiting for months to find some decent spiders.

Canon T4i
Tokina 100mm macro lens
f/8
1/250 sec.
Sigma EF500 DG Super Flash w/Neewer 8"x12" diffuser, 1/1 - 1/4 power

The first one was hanging from the doorway over a garage. The second is living in the left side mirror of my car (plenty of gnats and midges to eat).

Lovely captures.

I like the second one the best because it appears to be more active. That is, it's not scrunched up or trying to hide from the camera.

The one hanging from the doorway did extend itself some, but it was getting dark and hard to focus. That shot was blurry. Here are a couple more from a different angle:

Thanks.

It was getting dark, so I was about 50% on focus attempts.

Those are not easy to light up due to dark/white contrast areas. those I don't even try anymore lol

But if you're looking for ANY spider, that fits the description

By a couple of days ago, I was looking for ANYTHING that WASN'T an ant or a midge!

The orb weaver living in my side view mirror was pretty good.

The robber fly images were bar none, the best invertebrate shots I've ever captured.
