A shot of a Zebra Spider (Salticus scenicus). about 5mm, filling the frame.
Setup was a 44mm Helios Lens reverse mounted to the Sigma 150mm, and light provided by the Nikon R1 closeup speedlights.
Im glad the speedlights have focusing lights so I could see what I was focusing on.

Outstanding macro shot! However did you get him to hold still long enough to set up this amazing photo? No answer required...I'm just astonished.

Gareth Robinson 		  Michelle, thank you for the comment, to be honest I must have spend about half and hour trying to get this shot, focusing was a major problem with the thin dof, and after about 15 shoots eventual got one that was usable.

Cheers Gareth
