A few spiders, with Nikon 200-500vr

Light was fading fast and I couldn't get close to the big buggers so thought I'd try the 200-500 as I haven't had it long and I'm still experimenting.

Considering thats a huge lens, you have got some good detail in there of these spiders.

Thanks, it's not a combination I would go straight to but it's not bad, I had the tripod handy too so first few attempts were hand held wide open with VR then tripod and live view as the sun had dropped.

Totally agree with Graham, brilliant detail for the type of lens.
