Here is a series of images where I started off further away from the spider,
and then inched the lens closer until it scarpered! The 6th in that
series is a crop though, just cos I can....

Plus there is a photo of the underside of a small walnut orb spider, and finally a house fly. All these taken at around 11pm...

These are just excellent Paul.  I love the cropped and fly portraits.... you can almost feel the texture in the fly's eyes. I surprised that fly didn't 'scarper' on you.
Great portraits (haha, did you use an umbrella and reflector?)

Thanks Pete - the fly just moved around a bit, but didn't buzz off.

As for portraiture - my umbrella and reflector is my own custom diffusion which works reasonably well.  :)
