Garden Orb Weaver Spider

GOWS
Plenty of them around. Testing the Minolta macro lens.
Detail from the lens is amazing. The underside of this spider is more interesting than the top.

Certainly great detail. Agree, the underside is where it's happening. I have visions of 'Shelob' from Lord of the Rings

Thanks.

Shelob ....

Here's Shelob from the top.

Plenty of detail in these, that macro lens looks like a cracker.

Thanks Minty. The lens is just short of 20 yrs old and you are right, it's a cracker.
