For the first time in a long time, I used a tripod today. Put the K10 on a Manfrotto 322 RC2 grip mounted on a Slik Pro 813 CF. Cable release used.

All with the SMC FA 100mm f/2.8 macro. Resolution is fine, even at full size.

Very nice indeed, great background as well.

Would say number 3 is my favourite.

Wow these are super sharp and I too like the backgrounds. I often find it a pain to lug around a tripod, but when I do I always notice the effect it has on pics. Well demonstrated here. Are these spiders dangerous? (to humans). I know there are some in Australia which are...

Lovely images of one of my favourite subjects.

I'll have to try one of those tripod thingies one day ( I have 3 and rarely use them)

Some excellent shots there.

Having been taught photography by someone who used a tripod 99% of the time, I rarely think twice about it. I'll admit, though, that I find the precise positioning of the camera when taking macros out in the wild a pain, but I'm always disappointed when I try and manage without.

Great set, focus pin sharp.
I would like to think I could get just close to that sharpness, no luck with K10, now also have a K5, with the Pentax 100mm Macro f 2.8. Yes I have a stable Manfrotto tripod, cable release, but no go so far.
But a set of images like yours, makes me keep trying. Been at it since 1974, so still time.


Take care.
