They look a tad soft, try using tripod and the self timer on the cam. If she will stay still for you that is, and use f11 and above.

Thanks Snappy, I have tried setting from f1.8 to 22 with flash and without it (in frustration) I usualy shoot 100, f8, 125,(good light down here) as the starting point with manual lenses,but if no further advice will try bellows, and hope the spider does not attack me, as it will be very close while setting up.
thank you.
Ps have used Tripod an mirror up.

I think it's either a PP issue (assuming you shoot RAW) or the focus is well off as there seems nothing sharp in there. If you can't it sharp with flash then it has to be either focus or PP.
Are you relying on AF?

What camera are you using? Live view on my K20D is almost useless as far as getting an in-focus shot is concerned, but I hear the K7's live view is okay.Thanks Mikew, you were right it is focus, dont know why at the moment but

The 3rd and 4th photos are much better, sharper and better colour, still need some work though. Perhaps practice on something that isn't poisonous?

That's nothing, I have 'known' ladies with hairy ... err ... chests.

Thoughton, feeling better using the live view and yes it is K7.
The spider is poisonous,but not many deaths from this one, it is docile,untill threatend, she attacked the lens when I went in for a front on shot

I tried 5 lenses (18-250,70-210,18-45,35, 55) to get the best of 30 shots,she was quite happy to pose for me, only because of the eggs she was guarding.
