Location
I was in my mother's back garden mucking about with my new macro bellows and this most helpful model stayed in the center of her Web long enough for me to setup tripod, bellows, camera, lens, ring flash, remote and find focus (not easy when your new to using a bellows and manual lens) which was difficult as the Web was wavin about in the breeze and she was a tiny creature, with only a 15mm legspan. Eventually, I found a focal point "some where in the middle" hoped for the best and pulled the trigger of my old a580 About a hundred shots later had this image. I love the ringlight reflected 8 times!Time

My cheap chinese ringlight flash unit really brought this image to lifeEquipment

Finding a suitable, HELPFUL model is most difficult but most impirtant
