my first spider

[philipJvernon]

First attempt at macro for a moving subject. I saw this spider inside the house and thought it would be easier than looking for insects in the garden.

This guy seemed to have an injured leg and as a result was not the fastest, which was a great help for me

Lighting was an orbis ring flash with my flash gun

Very good detail. I really like it.

What lens did you use? I've only tried this once and it came out well, but not on the same level as your photo.

I used the Tamron 90mm SP f2.8 Di, only had it about a week and love it already.

If I remember correctly, I think this shot also used extension tubes, can't remember which one or how many though.

Cool. Same macro lens that I have It's a great lens. The reason I asked is that I can't get that kind of close detail with my lens but you just mentioned extension tubes so that explains that.
