Hard to shoot them, even a slight breeze causes the web to bounce like a trampoline. Good thing spiders are not prone to motion sickness. Rolling Eyes

Well, Ron, I was able to get a little closer today. This seems the best I can do. I'll leave the little guy alone now; he's been a good sport.

That is a colourful spider. I cannot say I have seen an open certre to a web before.

I was wondering if you could have gotten more DoF but your EXIF is blocked.

Ron: I have no idea what the aperture was, but the shutter was 1/125 and ISO200. I didn't want to go higher ISO and the web was fluttering and waving in the breeze too much to go slower shutter, so I set the aperture at f/16 and then turned the stop down wheel until I had the exposure correct for the shutter speed. Actually I deliberately underexposed by a stop, so it was stopped down a little more. If I had to guess, I'd say I was in the f/8 area. I was also quite close, it is not a big crop.

Very very good.
Did you spray water on them ?
Or was it early morning ? They are more still at this moment of the day.
