[QUOTE="WeeHector, post: 174403, member: 14301"] I agree with mikew. It's difficult to snap insects at the best of times. As many others have said, though it's hard to remember when you're shooting, try to use manual focus as AF doesn't always seem to work and try as small an aperture as you can get, if possible with a ring flash, as macro subjects can easily get out of focus. However, that said, I can understand your excitement at getting such a close shot. I'm still learning and have hundreds of shots worse than this. Keep shooting as much as you can and the perfect shot will occur one of these days. Keep the camera with you, as you never know when something unexpected might arrive. Good photo, nonetheless, which would have been even better taken from the other end PS; Due to the bad weather here this year, everything seems to be appearing at least a month late but spiders seem to be remarkably absent for the moment.
