Some spiders

These were taken in Pulau Ubin some time back.

Comment appreciated

All are very nice! As usual!

I would like to have seen the prey in focus, but I think that would have required much DOF!

Thanks tchuanye. The prey was just caught and was struggling like hell when I took that shot. Most shots were

... blurred!! Didn't follow up on the catch cos it's going to rain.

Hi Ykgen and Juste millieu,

I am using Fuji 602Z prosumer cam with two +4 close up filter.

Anyway, the second spider is a St Andrew's Cross Spider. It's quite common in Singapore but most of their web are half heartily done.

This particular one is the best I've seen so far.

Hi amirhamzah1980,

Yap, Close up filter can be stack together but DOF will suffer. CA is also quite bad...
