I've been doing a few test shots with my Sigma 150 and today I had an impromptu opportunity to snap a "real" shot. I saw a small spider (sorry, don't know what it is) on the wall and figured I'd try to see if I could capture something interesting. C&C Welcome.

Well, that looks like a good start to me :) Looks like a nursery garden spider to me.

Thanks everyone. It's definitely not spectacular or eye opening but MACRO does get addicting. For example, it wasn't until I opened up the picture in PS that I realized the insane amount of detail you see in a MACRO shot especially the hairs on this tiny spider.
