Just got my lens

I love it so far but dealing with wind is not fun! Here are a few:

Found this guy at the base of my foundation and was a pain to get a shot, especially when I hate spiders...lol

The first one is beautiful! I love the colors. Good job

Which lens are you using?

 

[poker_jake]

Thanks!

I'm using the Tokina 100mm 2.8

Still can't believe the smal DOF even at f11 at 1:1

The second guy by the way was about the size of a pen tip, woulnd't of noticed him if it weren't for a butterfly I was chasing

Love the first one. My husband and I love spiders. We regularly venture out to places they infest to get some shots!

There's one about the size of a half dollar outside my front door (with a huge back section and smaller legs in comparison), and I tried to shoot him but didn't feel like dragging a chair outside. He's stuck in the corner of our front porch.

Half dollar is a decent size.

We get a particularly big one here called golden silk orb weavers (commonly known as a banana spider). They are massive. Still on the lookout to photograph my first black widow haha
