...threw a fly into a spider's web and grabbed my camera!

Here's a crop of that image, I believe it's just over 100%

Here's another spider I found in the same yard, he's web is so strong it was bending backwards a branch to which it was stuck!

I can't remember exactly, but I believe about 8" to a foot.

Ok, I like my Sigma but I'm officially convinced to buy a 24-105. I don't know if I'll keep the Sigma but I have to get the L. I used my fathers this weekend and I'm officially in love with a new piece of glass! Great shots everyone.:D

I had both up until the point when I sold the 17-70, the 24-105L is a superb lens, however sharpness, contrast & colour are not as larger difference as people believe over the 17-70, the Sigma holds its own very well indeed!

I absolutely LOVE my 24-105L on my 5D, but I dont care much for it when its mounted on my cropped body, its just not very wide.

I just heard that Sigma are bringing out the 17-70 HSM, not sure if it will be this side of Christmas though as they took ages to release the 18-200OS, although I personally never had any gripes with the AF speed on my 17-70, it was able to track moving objects easily, HSM is probably more of a refinement, what they really should have put on it was the OS!

i think im done lens wise, 17-70 and 50mm 1.8 im gonna work on lighting setup, and maybe a 70-200 2.8L is in the long run... very long run.
