Lynx spider

[StephenM]

Hi all,

I found this little lynx spider sitting nicely on a Frangipani flower in my garden this morning. Taken with a 50mm macro using natural lighting.

Cheers,

Great shot Stephen!
What F stop were you using?

I hate having to choose what to loose to gain the points I want.
I would have loved to see those to front legs, perhaps even at losing the back ones because of the field change.

Great photo either way. Keep 'em coming!

Thats a great shot Stephen - very sharp, and gorg frangipani :)

Nice macro work Stephen, very well done.

Thanks Mitchell, Liz and Steve!



I'm generally restricted to f/8 Mitchell, because I'm using natural light. I agree, depth of field is always a bit of an issue, but in this case I tried to keep the spider's eyes sharp.



Thanks Liz - it's an obtusa (evergreen) Fragipani.



Thanks Steve

Cheers,
Stephen
