Hentz Jumping Spider

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

It has been a long time since I have shot macro but a tinsy winsy spider is all the motivation I need to drag the old rig out and set it up.

All 5 images were shot with a reversed 28mm Minolta MD at f/11 on a full set of tubes using a Canon 7D. Unfortunately, for some of the shots I had previously used the camera for birding and had an ISO setting much higher (800) than I like to use for macro. Should always check all camera settings before shooting.

Makes me want to find the time to play with my 28mm and 50mm reversed.

Yes, I have a really good macro lens but it is not what I grab for a jumping spider, but I don't have electronic tubes or Raynox closeup lenses either which would get me closer.... Maybe someday I will get some tubes that will work with my macro lens, it would be easier than shooting reversed.
