This is a baby female Black Widow... It was only a few centimeters long.... Small but deadly to my kitty. She is in spider heaven now.

I'm in love with my new macro lens ;)
Rebel XTI + Sigma 70mm 2.8 macro lens @ F6.3, 70mm, 1/200 Shutter Speed
Found this little guy outside the other day. I had never seen a spider like this before and decided he and his beautifully colored mouthparts would make an interesting subject. I threw an extension tube on my "nifty fifty" and started shooting. I quickly learned that spiders make difficult subjects!
Probrecica mia, la metí una sesión de fotos con sus correspondientes flashazos que aún debe de estar pensando que se teletransportó a una discoteca ochentera
For whatever reason I get a lot of spiders in the Kitchen. This is the first time I have found a WOODLOUSE spider in here though.
One of the few spiders with only 6 eyes.
Yellow Garden Spider. So many of these creepy spiders around the small pond next to Gallery Stratford. It was breezy as well, so the webs were always moving. Difficult to get extra close to them.
wolf spiders are super good at piggyback rides!
Sorry about the weird lines at the bottom...focus stacking artifacts. I normally crop them but I like the framing better this way.
A little bit of background is required here 'cos technically, this isn't the most outstanding shot but it did take a bit of effort...
This spider measured just 8mm from front to back (I know 'cos I measured it). It was taken with the Sigma 105mm Macro and a full set of Jessops extension tubes. Lighting was a real pain 'cos I don't have either a macro flash or an off-camera cord for my 430EX. The camera was set up on a tripod and I focussed manually on the spider. I chose f8 but realised afterwards that I should have stopped down a bit more. Shutter speed was 1 sec. I set manual mode on the flash and dialled the power back to 1/32 and held it directly over the spider. I put the camera on self-timer, waited for the shutter to go and fired the flash manually with the pilot button.
1/125 f8 iso200 pop up fash
These little spiders actually pose for you when you approach them, they kinda raise their heads, I'm guessing its a defence mechanism to make them look larger & warn off danger.?
