Good job saving this little guy, Brian Great shots

Beautiful shots Brian!

Nice capture. How long time did you have, until he little one got impatient?

Thanks for the comments everyone- much appreciated.
pwm2 - I was lucky I have my cameras strategically placed in the kitchen for my garden safaris. I'd guess it was about 60 seconds before the spider really started wandering about on my hand. main problem was getting the camera settings etc with the spider on my finger

To use one hand to prepare the camera and get off at least two exposures in that time doesn't sound too easy. Experience counts

Brian I love your work..
It was because of you I just purchased my SIG 105mm and I am seriously toying with the idea of the MPE-65..
Thanks for all the great posts.

I’m doing more than toying with the idea. I think it’s going to be my next purchase. The 100 is a nice lens, but just doesn’t get you close enough. Kind of like the 70-300. Always wishing for just a bit more.

Darn cool shots. I like the blue background mixed with your finger

Lovely pics of a real little cutie. I think she went all coy on you lol.

Lovely shots of a real cutie Brian - I've always found Jumpers to be friendly and cute myself. I haven't really been out with the camera for a week and a half now, and have been mostly doing bird photography in the past month anyways. Missing my little friends...the sad news is that my parents gardens are absolutely bone dry, and there's not much to shoot. Going to miss the lovely gardens here...another 2 days and I'm out of here.
