Sheltering from the rain....

Paul Iddon

This tiny orb spider is sheltering from the rain underneath a half inch long rose leaf.

It was raining as I took it so the camera, despite being on a tripod, was being operated one handed, with the Sigma 105 lens and 2 extension tubes @ 43mm added, because my left hand was holding my umbrella over the top of me and the camera! So it is not as sharp as I had hoped for. Mind you, it is incredibly small...

The Spider and the Photographer both trying to shelter for the shoot
Should of let the spider hold the umbrella hehehe.

Rather like this- neat shot- prefer it if the spider was not so central in the composition though.

Thanks for looking in Brian, and you have a point about the position.
