Here's one from this afternoon
I used the sigma 105 and full set of tubes
I'm amazed with the magnification and detail you can get just with the tubes:D
it was a small spider depth of field is narrow though could not get the body and head in focus.

Tried a few flash settings and found -1 flash exp comp about right he does look a bit dark but I found the body of the spider became burnt out with more flash
the background came out too dark really
I will experiment with fill flash to try to keep some background could not try this today though as it was quite windy so needed a higher shutter speed.
