Of bees and spiders

Dalantech

No shots of crab spiders with lunch today -only found one and he wouldn't pose for me.

All Canon gear: Xti (manual mode F8, 1/200, ISO 100) + 1.4 teleconverter + 12mm and 25mm extension tubes (one shot at 1.6x and the others at about 2.3x) + 100mm macro lens. MR-14EX ring flash set to a 4:1 ratio and -1/3 FEC. Minimal post processing.

I've gone back to using Canon's 1.4TC because the image quality is better than the Tamron 2x (even though the later is more convenient).

Thanks Brian! Much better detail with Canon's 1.4TC.

Hi there John, another great series
I love the bee, and the Crab Spider, could easily be mistaken for an image taken under the water, a little fish swimming past really wouldn't look all that out of place with your Spider ..... Skippy
