Spiders! $20 macro test.
I picked up a tamron 90mm macro lens for $20 at a garage sale this morning, and just went for a walk around the house with the kids to see what we could find.
There was a tiny little jumping spider, a couple of mm across, first shot is him on our brick wall hiding in the grout. Well above my head. He disappeared from view just after I took the shot, my daughter spotted him on my arm, stuck in my jungle of hair!
I let him back onto the bricks, but it turned out a much bigger (maybe 4mm length) jumping spider was waiting for the poor bugger.
Last shot is when the bigger guy caught him
These were just handheld shots to play with the lens, with the on-camera flash of the D90, ISO 800 (settings left over from trying to shoot the comet early this morning).
I'm pretty happy with the $20 investment so far.
