[QUOTE="J-see, post: 360293, member: 31330"] Reflectors would not be that handy. I'm more of a "push the button, let's roll" kinda guy. While I see the logic in preparing a "scene" and that it can benefit on many occasion, it wouldn't work well for me. For spiders, I usually frequent the same areas until I get to know the players. When I know where they are and what their "attitude" is, I keep circling the same route along them all. The problem with spiders is that most of the time they're just hanging out there and you have to be lucky to catch a moment of activity. By circling them all, I try to increase my luck. If there's activity, it's usually only a couple of seconds before they go into freeze mode again. If I'm wasting time setting all up at one, I might miss the good moments of five others. That's also why I always have to compromise in what I'll sacrifice in order to gain as a whole. It's almost impossible for me to have full sharpness even if I'd desire. Photostacking is something that might provide phenomenal shots but for bugs it only works well with necro-macro. [/QUOTE]
