Both excellent shots - the first tells a story and the second's a great portrait; I'd be very pleased with them

Thanks Hefty.
I used my homebrew dual flash bracket but only the right side fired it kinda ruined the portrait shot with the shadow on the left of his face.
The flash had slipped out of the hotshoe slightly and by the time i figured it out he was gone.
I love the way they are eyeing each other off in the first one.

Well the second one put me off my Weetabix! What a thing to see staring at you over your breakfast And as for it being a jumping spider, brrr I don't want to know!
Great photos as always Clarky, but can we have some photos of the cuddlier wildlife of Australia sometime? Convince me it isn't ALL creepy crawlies.

So this one is for you Gwyn. A joey and its mother came hopping through our camp and she seemed quite interested in what was going on.

I knew there must be some furry things there somewhere
I do think your jumping spider is very handsome, and very well captured, it's just not what I expect to see on a Sunday morning staring back at me. I should know better by now of course and not open Clarky photos until after breakfast

Nice shots CLarky, pity the flash didn't fire properly.
Did you notice he's only got seven legs, and two of those look 'newer' than the others. Wasn't aware of them growing replacements for lost ones, but it may be possible.
Weather's bringing the bugs out over here now, plenty of butterflies about, and beetles in the garden - probably worth having a sticky thread called 'Clarky and Dan's Bug Shots'.

Another nice shot Clarky, I don't much like spiders except the small jumping spiders we get over here - they are only about 5-6mm long I must try and take some pictures of one. Your example has a good? eye arrangement: four at the front (two large, two small) plus two at the side and two at the back!

Clarky,
How do you decide between using the Pentax D-FA 100mm macro and the Tamron 90mm macro :

Im afraid the Tamrons in mothballs at the moment. I'm addicted to the Pentax at the moment. But that may change when my Sigma 180mm arrives on Tuesday
