Nice documentation on the Kidney garden orb spider. (first few pics, #6 is also the same species.)

#9 is a spiny spider.

#7 is a wide jaw viceria spider, male. The females lack the black colouration for the forelegs.

Cheers,

Hi there..

Sorry that I didn't get to meet u on Sunday. I was late & u were left behind later on..

Anyways, nice pix. Hope to see u soon on our next east shooters gathering

[undergrd]

Hi Adrain, can you share your setup ? i mean what len did u use for the macro? any close up filter ?

[adrian_wee]

Hi Daneisha0802... pity didn't meet you too. (haha dun say so loud I got left behind ma.. wahaha..Joking) Anyway, see you on other outings.

Hey undergrd..I am using the tamron 90mm macro, with external flash wih diffuser.

[csnap]

Nice capture of the various type of spiders...
Tamron 90mm macro seems to be a popular choice.
Are the photos taken with auto or manual focus?

[adrian_wee]

thks, they are usually taken on manual mode, fix the shutter to reduce handshake, and vary the aperture according to subjects. However, this produces dark backgrounds many times, some pple like it as the subjects stands out, and some doesn't as its not natural.

Able to teach mi how u get such a close up on the spiders?Im using the same len as urs but i couldnt take the kind of pics that u took... Noob here...

[adrian_wee]

Hi undergrd ,
Haha, I'm not dat good to teach la..but I can share with you what I know.

How did I do such close up with the insects? Hmm.. Usually I will be taking at 1:1, the max mag for this lens.. no other add ons. But it really depends on the size of the insect and how I want to compose them. :> Sometimes filling up the space with the insect is not as nice as having a smaller insect with some nice backgrd. (Of cuz not too small la, then not really macro rite)
