Some of your best detailed shots I've seen I think Paul, stunning detail and light. :clap:
 
Oh Wow Paul, That's seriously close. It looks like the spider has been snacking already. Good shots (y)

Thanks Mark - Hopefully it will finish it off tonight :puke:
 
Yeh...

Very impressive shots indeed, amazing detail. (y)

I have a wee newbie :D question though.

How do you guys get the background to these type of shots so dark?

Thanks - The black background is caused by using flash with a small aperture and a high shutter speed - the 4th one was taken at f20 & 1/320 ISO 200, all the pictures have the exif data intact if you want the settings used on the others .
 
Oooh, competition for Alby :D Nice work (y)
 
Excellent detail Paul and stunningly close shots (y)

Anyone happy enough to post macro isn't competition to me just a colleague of the branch of macro photographics and a welcome body in the brotherhood. I welcome all no matter how good or inexperienced they might be, all competition are challenged for the competition forum or at local club, national or international exhibitions. ;) :p
 
Those shots have blown me away....I hope one day i can produce something close to that quality
 
My god, sure you didn't attach an electron microscope to your camera? :LOL:
Those shots are amazing not in terms of it being that close up, but how you've got every little tiny detail on that fly.
 
Fantastic shots, superb detail. Didn't realise they were that ugly. :LOL:
 
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment and for all the positive comments :D(y) - its certainly a lot eaiser when the subjects not trying to fly / crawl or slither away.
 
Incredible detail in a fantastic set of shots. (y)(y)(y) Where are all the Daddy longlegs this year? - I've seen none and we usually have loads coming into the kitchen.
 
Brill, the eye detail in 1 and 3 is top notch.
 
Amazing detail. Great shots
