Spider

[Rajan Kanagasabai]

I've not been much of the 'Macro Clan' but my daughter has been a lot into it. On a recent shoot (Kabini) i tried to get a hang of her new Macro Lens with a spider (don't know its name or ID).

5D M II, EF100mm F/2.8 Macro USM, F4, 1/350, ISO 400, +0.5

A giant wood spider (Nephila sp). These are known for their huge webs, and also for keeping those webs tidy... should a leaf fall on it, the spider meticulously cuts out that part of the web and rebuilds it.

Nice to see you trying macros . Good details. The composition looks fine. Wish it was possible to avoid the bright spot on the top. Thanks for sharing.
