I've got a ways to go, but hopefully I'll get better at natural light shots. Canon 5D

Same flash, lower output, different lighting angle, (further away from the subject). this spider was as big around as a quarter. Canon 5D

The DOF is also good so I'm guessing you didn't compromise on aperture. How did you get more natural light then? Longer shutter time / raised ISO ? Did you use manual on the camera and ETTL on the flash with FEV reduced? So many possibilities!  Thanks very much Mike, you nailed it on the head, not longer on the shutter time, but raised ISO and the rest. He was very patient or entirely worn out. Canon 5D
