Teensy weensy spider.

This is the first time I've used my tripod to shoot some macros or close-ups. This little girl was so small I just couldn't keep still enough hand holding to focus on her. These are true macro (1:1) shots. She was only about 2-3mm long.
Blowing back and forward in the wind didn't help either.
The first shot is darker, she was in the shade, the next one she blew back into the sunlight for a second or two.
The last shot shows the ring (70mm diameter) where she built her web...you can see the small part of her web (arrow) where she was sitting.
I think I'll stick to larger subjects in the future...

Extremely well done. Spot on focus. The detail of the web really frames the spider and adds to your photos.

Ron, the resulting photos are great and DDLs show the sharp details.
