    Itsy Bitsy Spider

    Didn't even notice the spider at first, but once I did, I stacked all the tubes on the 100mm macro lens and went for it.

    Wow that is tiny!

    Nice capture. All three tubes on a 100mm macro - that had to be hard keeping it steady and in focus.

    Re: Itsy Bitsy Spider

    Thanks guys. Yes it was a challenge to keep things in focus and steady. Thanks to a very slight breeze, I have plenty of blurry, OOF images to go along with this one!

    As I was adding the reversed 50mm to this combo, the spider relocated out of site.

    Re: Itsy Bitsy Spider

    Thanks Paul. For those who may be interested, this was shot at 1/13 sec! I think the focus could be a bit better, but for the conditions I was in, I'm pretty happy with this.

    Thanks for looking.
