Nice work Tim, could you have acheived any more DOF here, or were you already on the limit ?

Only used f11 on this, there was some distracting shade cloth about 6" behind the spider so i had to go with a shallow depth of field to blur it out unfortunately...

Fair enough, it's a tough balancing act. I may of been temped to bump up the DOF and then use PS to blur the background if need be.

Just a little trick Tim...if you need a bit of extra DOF just move back a tad. DOF falls off the closer you get. Sometimes it pays to give away a little resolution by moving back a tad....and pick up some extra DOF. Give it a try next time and see if it works for you.

Nice shot Tim. :D I quite like the DOF and the confusion of the web.
