    Default Handling a delicate matter

    A busy hunter wrapping up its late evening prey.
    Being late in the evening, and the spider itself being hardly 5-6mm across, it was an interesting challenge to capture this beauty, especially as it was located near the compound wall area of the garden and with any mild breeze the web will move quite a lot. Tried using the live view of the DSLR for capturing, but was more difficult due to mild lag, so went with the eye-view and captured several frames, especially when the spider seemed to come in focus during the breeze. After several failed attempts, either it was out of focus or completely washed out due to high flash output, finally a fly got caught into the web and the stone dead still hunter started to move swiftly to wrap the catch of the night. This frame is during that moment and luckily the breeze also subsided and could get a decent frame with lowered flash output too.
    ID help appreciated

    Nice image. By observing very closely I could see its 2 eyes. There are two more below them? The plain green background looks nice and enahnces the image. Nicely captured. Your efforts have paid off . Thanks for sharing.
