A lot to aspire to...
I just went out onto our balcony and nearly walked into this guy's web. Camera was close by so I thought I'd show Rel a thing or two...not
Comments welcomed. This was taken in near pitch black with the great help of the SB-800 (on camera). WB set to flash, ISO 250 f/3.2. Didn't want to go right open to 2.8 as I think the DOF is already a little too shallow. I have a long way to go to get to Rel's level, and a macro lens (not the 17-55) may also help. Thought I'd post this as it's out of my usual 'realm':  Geoff

You should have set F 16 or higher Geoff, the SB800 would have compensated.

Considering the way you took the shot Geoff - you did bloody well !!!!
I shoot at F22 usually, with the flash set to manual (GN) mode and adjusted output wise to suite the subject and background (ie, light background or foliage doesn't need as much 'cos of flare etc) ... seems to suite the way I shoot anyway. If you've got the lightsphere & cap, I'd really recommend it - gives a lovely soft and even flash - but if not, and you have the flash sock - also really good
This shot is guaranteed to give arachnophobes the sh**s - a spider flying through space coming to get you !!!! 
RUN ::::::::::
More tonight please !! Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams
