I HATE spiders, but they are cool to shoot
Spiders are amazing but are extremely freaky shooting up close with a macro lens. I have done many shots of garden, hopping, and a few tropical spiders in a jungle, and none of them were moving. While hiking in the local mountains I came across a Tarantula cruising along the trail. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Now, how do I shoot a large black Tarantula without touching it or even getting close to it. Well how about a forked stick, a rubber band, and a UV lens filter. Every Time I got in front of the large hairy monster, I noticed he would rear up on his back legs and show me his fangs. After a few practice runs with my new fashioned tool I was able to pause the spider long enough with my fancy tool to get a macro shot.
