I caught this spider having lunch today among the daffodils in the garden. Natural light, Canon 40D with Sigma 150 and Sigma 2x f/16 ISO 800, 1/60 sec, +0.67 EV. I probably should have gone to f/22 but felt that I was already pushing it a bit given the very light breeze.
Hi Bruce,
You would defnitely be pushing it with natural light. You may have been able to use the pop up flash on the 40D as fill and should try it. You can also try going to 1250 on the 40D....with noise reduction.... maybe the same results in natural light. Overall very nice comp and exposure,
Roman
Pleasing composition and nice colors Bruce. I agree flash could have helped here. I often use the pop-up flash for macro work, actually works better than a flashgun.
