Robin...the name voted for on my Flickr site for this shop spider that is a long time resident of my workshop. Unlike most spiders that catch their own food, I feed Robin regularly...every few days. This morning Robin had a delicious moth.
Here I used the 540 Flash, as I normally do with Macro shots, and although it required some PP, I can generally get pretty sharp shots hand held, where flash stops the blur....and focus is the main concern. If you take several, focus will usually be pretty good on a few. I've never trained a spider before, but if they are anything like Squirrels, Robin will be posing on command very soon!
Regards!
