Spider and it's prey

With a hour to practice my new 60mm F2.8 Macro, I decided to focus on one or two subjects instead of collecting quantity of species. With this in mind, I feel the photos are much better in quality and the angle of shots are much more better in perspective.

Usually to spot macro subjects, it's good to comb (with our eyes) a small area. Usually I will find a much shady place as if there is direct sunlight, due to the shadows of the leaf and branch, the metering of the camera and fill-in light of the flash are much more challenging.

Shooting many frames, will normally yield a few good shots. It is also important to stay still and movement is minimum so that the insects are comfortable with our presence.

Here are shots of a spider attending it's captured prey.
