The Great Tuesday Afternoon Spider Hunt!!! - 04-05-2011, 07:04 PM

Critique: CC:

Got out and did a little hunting this afternoon. Found a few Orb Weaver Spiders. Two of them had captured some prey and the other was just sitting there.

All shot with Canon T2i, Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 31mm extension tube, Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lites (both heads half power), tripod on the first two and handheld on the last, EXIF embedded.






As always thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Oh and I almost forgot. Gig'em Lady Aggies Basketball team. Playing for the National Championship tonight.

Tom, you nailed the focus on these images, and the lighting is also well done.
