202: Spider in the Parsley

This is one of those shots taken quickly, and without much thought. What I liked about this was the unexpected detail lurking in the focus area it's cropped to.
It's nice to think that I may have noticed it subconsciously, but most probably not - just a curious accident.

Settings: f/4, 1/160, ISO 100, 50mm Pentacon M42, 19mm extension. 100% crop.

075: Money Spider

Yesterday I noticed this money spider on it web inside one of our compost bins. I only managed to get a side view today, but what I got I captured in some very fine detail.
The lower half of the image is the top rim of the compost bin. The tripod was lent against the bin and the front of the lens barrel was about 4cm from the spider.

Settings: f/11, 1/180, ISO 200, 87mm extensions, 1/4 flash, foil reflector, tripod.
