I found this spider in the garden this afternoon and was wondering if someine could help with an ID...

It looks like a wasp spider from research on the t'interweb but it is much larger than the info suggests, front to back leg span is about 6cm and there is no zig zag on the web?

Not the best photos either sorry! I live in Central/Eastern Europe if that helps?

Yes, it's the wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi, but your colour balance is very blue.
