Come on Clarky, enough of these static subjects. They're obviously no challenge to you any more.

We want to see Jumping Spiders jumping, not sitting around posing for you.

Or.......at least, spiders sitting still with you jumping around
Seriously now, Those Super Taks still hold there own, even in this digital age.
I've got one coming to me in a few days. Look at that beautiful bokeh it has produced in the background.Even the dust on your sensor looks butterly smooth now.

Them little beasts can't move, cos they been "superglued" there, well that's what I'd have to do to get sharp shots like these.

This one is a baby and only a couple of mms in size.

Chris have you ever seen one of these guys jump, they disappear in a split second, but it would be a neat shot if i could get it.

Martin I picked up quite a bit of junk on my sensor on this little excursion. Its just come spring and a lot of sticky pollen flying about. But I got it all cleaned off eventually.

Keep practising kerrowdown its not that difficult
