Great shots Brad.

I decided to remove the Kenko 1.4TC and just use my Raynox DCR-250 and Tamron 90mm Macro. I think the quality is much better.

Just need to get them to pose better lol.

I think there is definitive improvement once you took the TC off Scott.

Getting the little buggers to pose is a problem in itself isn't it.
I find if I tap under the leaf with my finger, sometimes they will turn towards the lens, and if you are down at their level, sometimes if you're lucky you can get that eyeball to eyeball look.

Yeah I know, I never found the 7 legged green one again. But I will be out hunting again tomorrow ;-)

I have found they don't stray too far, they are often found on the same bush next time you look.

Though my colourful ones seem to have disappeared, maybe the green ants ate them :(

Thanks Pat.
I think if you spent some time around these little Jumping Spiders, you would grow to like them. They are harmless to Humans and quite friendly, some of them seem to come out to greet you when you poke the lens in towards them.
