P.s. both shots handheld, Sb800 fitted f22 with shutter speed of 500... the spider was also handheld.. not the easiest thing in the world holding a spider up on one stick and holding the camera in the other hand

Macro stuff is very addictive huh... Love the second one... What is the aperture in the first (couldn't get EXIF)? DOF looks very, very shallow, great focus on the eyes...

they were both f22... i think it was the angle i was holding the piece of stick that created the shallowness... but it worked out well.. i only got 1 shot off like that before he did a spiderman act and lept off and did a runner
