Found this guy at work. Came from under a wall so I took him outside and got a few shoots. He posed very nice on a leaf I found. Didn't move for about 20 minutes. Don't think he knew what outside was :)
Taken with my 70-180 4.5-5.6 micro

Not too shabby! #3 looks like you are a bit too close for lens' minimal focusing distance (MFD).

Yes, I put the T5 on to get a little closer. Was hand holding, so I must have move a little. My only excuse, I was suppose to be working, ha.

Thanks, wish I would have had the tripod. It is in the truck full time now. :)

i was wondering what would happen if u cropped the 1st shot so the spider filled the frame a little more i really like the second one and u r way braver than me i would have jumped back screamed like a little girl then kicked it and stomped on it a couple times for good measure

You can try that yourself! OP posted FULL image, so you can download to your PC, then crop as you would like to see image on your monitor. I use Picasa for such quick crops. It is customary to ask permission before posting edits of someone else's photos.

If you do PP give it a go. Or if you want me to try, just let me know.

maybe but the only lens i have is a 75-300 f/4-5.6 so a close up would be hard

Yuk. I hate those guys. Great and sharp photos though. They are so life like I am getting chills. Feel like stepping on it.

Actually from faraway I feel the same. But if you can get a micro shot of some of them, they are pretty cool to look at. I carry a little bug cup in my truck to catch them in and take them home. After I get a few shots they go out to the garden. Good bug catchers.
