Spider

I'd rather look at things that fly with the exception of flying ants.

 

I'm terrified of spiders we've had some real big spiders in the house this year

Using a long / telephoto lens will amplify camera shake and decrease depth of field. Both lead to blurring. A Monopod or Tripod helps with camera shake and a large f-stop will give greater depth of field.

Apologies if i'm stating the bleeding obvious here.

A cracking photo, as the subject is right in focus.

 

The lens wasn't that big @Agent Orange, a 250mm but it could have been my Bridge camera instead. Sorry, I can't check at the moment as my pictures are currently unavailable.

I was in the middle of hedge trimming, tripods were not an option, I just grabbed the camera.
