I figured that if i took my camera to our house on the lake that I'd find something worthwhile to shoot. I was looking for a lizard that always runs on the deck but then found this guy between two bushes. And as a bonus, he had a grasshopper. He let me get really close. So close that I was able to reverse a 50mm onto my 105 macro lens, and get some insanely close macros of his head.

Just looked at another spider photo, similar size, subject, and comp. This is better because it has some nice shadowing to give a 3 dimensional feel to it. Good job.
Wow, what a great catch. I haven't yet been able to get that good of a photo of a spider, so I know how hard it can be. I love the coloring in this guy...
i do like this pic and I know you can't stage these things, but the spider seems to be getting a bit lost with its prey in the web.i'm just wondering if there was another angle to try ot shoot this from. If only you could have asked it to climb a big higher so it would be on its own, and look at the camera!
