With these 2 shots i decided to use a sheet of white paper for a high key background to help show greater detail of the spider...

Re: Common garden spider

Don't worry, it hadn't crossed my mind that you had killed it. I wondered if you had found a dead one.
My son has taken to collecting dead bees etc so that he can try setting up macro shots! The big cheater!

Re: Common garden spider

Thnx again for the comments...what gave me the chance to take shots of great detail was because the spider seemed go all limp as if playing dead.
