This was literally handed to me one morning... I walked out my

front door and staring me in the face was this Garden Spider. It

had it's web in the vines of a pothos plant I have on my porch and

that gave me the ability to move him around to get all kinds of

great shots. This is one spider that was not camera shy. I used a

Nikon 55mm micro on my D100 that gave me about 3" working distance.

I had that lens in it's face for about 10 minutes while I filled the

CF card shooting all different angles and he only moved a tiny bit.

This gave me a great opportunity to experiment with the apeture to

get exactly the DOF I wanted. Anyhow, I thought this one showed

this spider's magnificent markings well. I just wanted to share it

and get your thoughts. Have a good one.

This one was a surprise... I expected the usual "family" roll of

photos, but this one grabbed me. Whada ya think? Thanks!
