Spider Tenant
This spider, which was larger than than the diameter of a quarter, was in the midst of spinning a web that occupied a 5 foot radius when I happened upon him. I was dumbstruck when I saw him as I had never seen one that large that was not in a cage - and because it was 2 am. Eventually, I scurried inside to get my camera, at first returning without a flash, tripod or macro lens.
After some uber high iso shots, i reasoned that i needed both a tripod and flash. Snapped this and a few others. Had to keep ISO high so that I could capture any sudden movement, but all and all pleased with the quick work here.
