It never hurts to be lucky. The newly hatched spiders are so tiny that I didn't know they were in the shot till i put the shot on the big screen.

A situation which was fraught with potential over exposure issues, but you have managed an ideal exposure level.

I'm thrilled with the result and the tamron is superb. Considering that it is one of the lower priced macro lenses for an Alpha mount makes it even better.

I did have to burn two little bright spots on two of the babies but other than that it worked well. All of the nagging my Manfred must have paid off. Originally Posted by Geoff F

Congratulations accepted. But as noted a lot of credit goes to the lens and camera. Originally Posted by Tom Barry
