It's a big blurry motherfucker, that's what I think.
The background is a bit distracting too.

Here's some shots of the spider outside my house.

Just as simple Sigma 50mm 2.8 macro lens (manual focus) set to 1:1, and F-22, and the flash mounted off the camera.

Kinda had to rush the shots a bit because the spider was rather annoyed at me blinding him...

And I know the focus is a bit off. It's rather tricky to get the focus exactly right when it's such a razor thin sharp focus zone...

Second picture...
By the way, all these shots were during the day. Morning I think...

Another shot. This isn't a big spider to star out with. I think it's only about 1 cm across (give or take)

Last one.

I'm glad I picked up a proper macro lens. Granted, it's a manual focus lens, but it was a steal of a deal.

Now I need to save up for a nice 100 mm macro... With autofocus.

I know. Like I said, I was in a bit of a hurry...

If he's still there, I'll take a few more shots with a diffuser attached to the flash.

Any suggetions for diffuser materials?
