Spider Trap--SERIOUS EWWW EFFECT!!!

[Chiller]

So I was here at work, when a co-worker came running...said. "grab your camera" I went over and saw this spider in the window above the door, and could not help snapping a few as he caught a helpless fly. The sun was behind and off to the right, so he looks a little transparent. I shot with an 18-55 lens, and a 3X close up filter attached.

The Hunter.

.........trapped

Instant death

I'm envious now!
These are great!
My yesterday's attempt to capture a spider busily building its web with that camera there (see below) all failed: the macro function doesn't REALLY allow for any macro shots, there was too little light and the spider was waaaayyy too busy building and building, round and round and round...

Very nice Chiller. I think the last is the best.

Much prefer the second on, he looks huge!
The sky as a background works really well. Adds interest and the blue looks good against the black.
