European Cross Spider

Final BackBlip this week...

After yesterday's image turned out so well, I decided to come back this morning when the spider was directly backlit and try a super-macro shot using a Canon 100mm f/28L macro with an inverted 50mm attached to the front.

Since I didn't have the necessary adaptor ring, I improvised with this set-up that I used last week for the Golden Poppy Stamens Blip.

At first, I didn't notice that you could see the spider's multiple eyes until after I viewed it on my monitor. I thought that was pretty cool (and a little creepy), so my goal it to figure out how to photograph this guy again facing him head on.

Any suggestions?
