Love the first one - I tried to get that angle when I shot mine but snagged a webline with a tripod leg and spoiled the shot (not to mention the spider's hard work!)

Cor blimey :thumbs:

Just how big is that beastie and how large a macro do you need to get it that big in the frame?

1st and 2nd are spot on!

Thanks for looking Nigel I shoot handheld so don't have the tripod problem. Gotta be care you don't stick silk over the lens though going this close :)
