LOVE the spiders. How did you get the one with the white background? As far as I know, there are no white plains in the great widerness that also happen to have jumping spiders.

Great pictures. Although I could have done without seeing the flies doing it. TMI on that one. The spider shots are really cool even though they freak me out....

Thanks all

I'm starting to get used to it a little more. Since the first post I've now got my flash off camera and diffused, which has been a great help.
A few pictures with current setup.

I did a search on that lens and it is Macro only with 5 magnification ranges. It is a pretty penny for just macro.

Canon MP-E 65mm
