I hope i am not offending anyone out there but I saw this little bugger last night weaving a web over my bed and for the first time decided to see if I could do a decent job of capturing it. He was really busy and kept going back and forth so the first 2 shots are live...then it was time for him to get knocked out. The last couple of shots are him in lala land, posing for me unconciously...lol.

I have no idea how you guys get those amazing macros...i had such a hard time. I couldn't really use the bounce flash cause it was a small room and everything kept getting blown up. So this is with just my halogen lamp.

Any comments/critiques are welcome (this is my first attempt at an insect macro)

(all shots have been cropped, thats it)

Shoot bigger spiders. Then you don't need to get so close.

If anyone can tell me who this guy is, I'd love to know. I found him in the basement, but I let him loose in the front yard. He's still there, as far as I know.
