In the right place for the Spider:D Looks like you were in the 'right' place too!
I keep working on getting the 'perfect' spider shot.

Nice job. That last one sure tells the story. Lot of tube on that shot. What was the working distance?

CDP, thanks! Yeah, this one in particular was very energetic (as evident by the number or carcasses) and I shot perhaps 30 frames to try to convey the scene. This was the only "series" sequence and I thought it told a story better than one single image.
OT, the working distance is around two and a half feet from the front of the lens. I had my right elbow resting on the air conditioning unit so I could repeat the framing. Of course it was running so I ended up deflecting the air around and having the vibrations transfered up my arm :( Always some trade-off in photography :)
