Hi Cooldood!
I was using an R5 with the RF 100mm macro and an Aputure Amaran LED on my hotshoe.
Shot in Av mode, f/8 and 1/125 second. I was using AF since I had to hold the cam over my head. Ugh.

I really like the POV. Nicely done, Nemorino.

Another funnel web spider. Reminds me of Shelob (LOTR).

Very nice shot, JohnC.

I wanted to get both the spider and geese in focus, so I tried F32 and diffraction definitely made everything softer than I'd like. I don't really want to do focus bracketing, but maybe I should?

that would be a tough shot to pull off without bracketing, or a composite image in post... assuming the web is very close to you at all. An option might be a wide angle macro lens, which would have greater depth of field at more normal aperture settings.

The spider was about one and a half meters away and I didn't want to get closer because I would be disturbing thickly growing plants. I think the ducks were about one hundred meters. I used the ef 100mm macro along with the ef 14mm ii on that day. I think at 14mm the ducks would have been too small, but 35mm might have been about right?

This one seems in space.
