Zebra Back Jumping Spider having breakfast.

[snerkler]

Few shots of a jumping spider eating breakfast this morning. Can't believe it, never seen one of these before then see one two days running. These things are SMALL, about 4-5mm in length. Here it is having breakfast, god knows how small the fly is These are pretty much 1:1 crops of 1:1 macro

Thanks. It's the Sigma 105mm OS HSM macro. I'm really impressed with how much cropping it can stand up to, even with a bit of diffraction creeping in at f16.

Macro is not easy and at first you only get 5% succes if shooting handheld.

I totally agree with you.
I will read with pleasure anything great to improve my macro low skill
I got some nice shot but for sure it is hard.
I was not expecting such an hard experience that's all.

But some times it works fine

Cracking images Toby - the buggers are quick but if they're having a sit down meal, then at least you get a decent chance - and in this instance it has been well executed.

Nice series. I particularly like the first of the second three where you get a really good view of both the spider and the prey.
