Chuck G

Close-up of a female black-widow spider. Because the web was flat against the wall, I couldn't get a shot of the underside of the belly. Shots were taken using an Olympus MCON-40 macro converter.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20
1/40s f/2.8 at 39.9mm iso80 full exif

Very nice macro shot, this is one huge black- widow. Andrew

Gross Chuck, I hate spiders LOL, but must say very good picture anyway.

Nope, I was very close, but it was a rather cool day, and the spider was pretty sluggish.
With the macro converter, I ended up about 4-5 inches away.

A nice shot of a female that gives me the willies! Hope you were still a ways away, as they can jump. . .
