Garden Spider Hanging Out

Uploaded: September 15, 2016 | Entered: September 15, 2016 10:30:28

Description

This was a large (size of a US quarter, legs and all), Garden Spider hanging from a web attached to our porch railing and shrub bushes. I shot between the railing using my Canon 100-400 mm L lens at 400 mm with IS activated, hand held with an extension tube. Settings were f10, 1/640, ISO 1000.
