What I have learned about these shots is that you almost need 2 tripods. One for the camera and one for the flower and some type of wind barrier would be nice. When these webs have any water on them the slightest breeze makes them sway. I think I could get better results with the live view that the 40d offers so it is on my wish list.

I know what you mean about the wind. The place I attemp most of my macros is at work on my lunch time. It is between 2 buildings that act like a wind tunnel. If it quiets for a second, when I take the shot, it has gusted again-oof. JACK Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/parksplace

The area I was at had long weeds and tall grass and the spiders build their webs at the top to catch more flying insects. This makes placing the flower behind the web difficult so I used the tripod to hold the flower and hand held the camera. If you're afraid of failure ... you'll never succeed!
