Spider/fly-macro test photo

Hi Folks.

I not long ago purchased a Canon Macro 60 mm F 2.8 lens.

I have not used it much,but saw this spider had caught a fly,so thought I'd take a few quick photos,as I took the second another spider joined the feast!

The light was'nt the best,so used F 5.6_I would like to have used a higher number AV as to get more in focus.

But I was still fairly pleased with these,Quite amazing how sharp this lens is.

Thank you for looking-Chris

Focus looks sharp. Needs more light - use that flash of yours!

Agreed. Up the iso and use some flash. Buy a cheap diffuser off ebay or rubber band a tissue around the flash to diffuse it. I'd also suggest using an aperture of at least f/8, will help control the focus.
