Took a walk this morning on the way to work...walking through the woods and bracken and spotted this guy racing around his web killing all the flies that landed there...
...taken with 135mm M42 Manual lens on 50mm of macro tubes, flash on bracket camera left, diffused with toilet roll.

    Good captures - some blown highlights indicating a bit more diffusion needed perhaps along with some - FEC on the flash.

    Thanks. Can't remember if I had -FEC on, but I often do. Was difficult balancing the light as it was still not light while I was in the woods and bracken.
    Was just pleased to get the shots, especially the first :D
