Spiders-new 5D 1st light

Hi Guys

1st go at macro with my new Canon 5D mk2 and EF 24-70mm f2.8L lens.

I dont really know what Im doing, thats why they the composition is odd, and wrong bits are in focus (geez the depth of field is small in macro ).

The cam and lenses (also have a 70-200mm f2.8L) are a huge leap from what im used to, and they are a joy to use (albiet the lenses are large and heavy) . f2.8 especially was a big supprise.

You can see (and zoom in on) large versions here

I have no idea what kind of spiders these are.

400 ISO on a very cloudy day in the Karingai national park.

I keen to get better at this, given it works well in cloud, unlike another form of photography that springs to mind , so hints welcome .
