P.S. - I love photographing spiders!

Thank you for the info, Nikonian72. I go to the Macro Forum often and try to get inspiration from the great shots there.

They are amazing close up. I never realized how beautiful they were, and then I had to take pictures once I saw photos from other people :-D
