• David de Groot said:
  Thanks, the DoF is still too narrow, but the background blur is beautifully silky :)

  Spider with a long tail? Nice shot, David.
• David de Groot said:
  I think it (the tail) was an egg sac (or will be one). I'm not entirely sure though.

  It appears unsharp? Where is your depth of field (even at f9). I it looks like the eyes are in field, but the top of the lower body is not? Did you crop the photo (how much)? or where is the full size? Wind?
• David de Groot said:
  No crop, this is the full frame. However, it was a little breezy and although I was using a tripod, focussing at 1:1 is still tricky (still a novice to this). I'd love a focussing rail for when I'm using the tripod, but that will have to wait.
  
  Just had a puddle outside in the sunlight (when it was about), hand-held. Tricky stuff this, still not happy with the results.
