Macro photogrpahy - Tiny spider

I discovered this little beasty whilst walking down to the garden office / studio. Perched on an iris and measuring no more than 1cm across, I was inspired to see how it would capture. I took a dozen or so but this was my favourite. This was very very different to a typical photo shoot, and the challenges were different too. The 100mm macro lens was barely 2 inches from the little monster and at this proximity the depth of field was so shallow that the slightest breeze would move the leaf and thrown the whole thing into total blur! Add to that the fact that he kept moving - I'm not sure he welcomed a great big lens being that close to him!
