This old girl (Barn Orb Weaver) certainly looked like she was feeling her age to a higher degree, notice she has a leg missing. I took this under a pedestrian barrier on a bridge, the barrier was only just beyond waist height and there was a row of LEDs underneath the top of it, so said Spiders (and big they were) were grouped together using the struts as web supports plus the insects were attracted to the lights, an intelligence of Spiders I admire; so I had to lay down on the floor directly underneath said Spider with the Raynox attached, but, as it behaves like a Magnifying glass getting the focus was a tricky affair, I had to raise my upper torso which made my abs judder (I'm so bloody unfit) and this wrecked my control, so, I placed my tripod in its case under the small of my back and propped myself up using that. Success, eventually!
I hope everyone's week is going well and so as always, thank you! :)
