Unfortunately, I was not able to catch both characters fully in one shot, as the spider was moving too fast. All comments and constructive suggestions are welcome, including the brutal ones. I am particularly interested in hearing aboutany tricks that can be used to do macro shots of the life objects. (I know, some people freeze insects, so that they move slowly, but in cases like this it is not an option) Also, does the setup with reverse-mounted lens improve DOF?
