Ivan, This is incredible sharp, I could see some droplets of water on its head. By the way, 32mm is step up tubes or single tube? When did you shoot it? Yesterday night?  |

You'll probably think I am too on:) I had about 3 hours to kill this afternoon so I went to Lower Pierce just now to shoot. Cannot spot many insects like our insect speaking guru but saw this guy. I used a 60mm macro with 12mm(canon original extender) and 20mm triplus. Got a few other shots of this fella but I tot the full extension had more drama haha. Here's another one...  Lowlights that thing at the back I actually don't know what it is. It seemed to be part of the spider so I didn't want to take it out or crop it off. I show you the full body shot, see if you can tell me what it is:)  Yah I am definitely developing am A4 of these  |

Thanks USM, Lowlights, Steve, 28 degree, Deswitch and lowlights for your comments. Deswitch and 28 degree, if I estmate from the picture below, head to tail is about 10cm. I shot the photo below without extender tube, it can fill up my frame:) It might be bigger than the one we saw at night. Don't think it's the same spider cos the location quite far from last night. To be frank, not sure if alive or dead or perhaps sleeping. It did not move so I got bolder and closer. |

Bad idea to have dinner while reading this forum and section man.... nearly had to throw away my food.... scary stuff man... but.... as usual... IVan... scored... Nice pic man...
Just curious... you increased the flash power and increased the f stop.. ?? hence the black back ground..??
Cheers
