C & C always welcomed.
 
Excellent shots (y) You've captured a lot of detail here...(y)
 
Nice set Keith (y)
 
Nice collection of shots, great detail and story. - I know I would jump a mile if a spider moved whilst I was trying to take a photo.
 
Great shots Keith, you do well with the close up shots superb (y)
 
Thanks for your kind comments folks............much appreciated and I'm glad you liked them.(y)
 
Keith you done a great job with them Mate. Great location that was for them wasn't it?
 
Great macros Keith (y), possibly a bit more DOF in the first one would benefit but I know how hard it is to take these shots.

Thanks for your kind words.........I take your point about the dof......not really an excuse, but I wear glasses and on hot days they get steamed up and I have difficulty seeing through the viewfinder. If I take the glasses off, I can't even see the viewfinder:LOL: I'm thinking of getting a magnifying eyepiece so I can use the camera without my specs on.

A really nice set there.............brilliant beasties aren't they(y)
 
I hate spiders Keith! yet I can not resist having a look on here from a safe distance.

Horrible spiders, but great of shots, it must have been quick at catching and immobilising it with the first few strands for you to miss it!.

Thanks..............I don't think it was a case of the spider being quick, it was more me being startled when it started to move.........I thought it was going after me:eek:
