Found this outside the garge the other night, quite big, with a body about the size of your thumb nail.

Very nice shots, no idea what it is though...

Was that with the Sigma 105 btw?

Cheers for the comments,

Yep it was shot with a Sigma 105 and a full stack of Kenko extension tubes @ f18. Sigma flash held off camera at 1/2 power in an attempt to side light.

Anyone know what it is?

Think you are right, it's an Orb Web Spider. Nice shots too, I like the crops.
