Our Humble Garden Spider

This afternoon I took this speedy snap of a spider in the garden as I was taking some other shots. I magnified it on my screen to the actual image size and I was amazed at what a beautiful creature our humble garden spider is.

When I have time I'll go back and put the camera on a a tripod and get some sharper shots. In the meantime. love your spiders!

Yes credit to these fellas who deal with the occasional mosquito and green bottle fly!

looks perfectly sharp to me. More depth of field would be nice

Yup, ideally it needs a camera on a tripod and some focus stacking.

What camera and lens set-up have you got?

Been looking for a camera, but so many to pick from and a ever climbing pricetag

I have a dslr. If I was starting from scratch now I’d go mirrorless. 

What’s your budget?

under 500.

mirrorless?  really?

Im old school SLR user....so that was kinda what I was looking for.
The only one I really had my eye on was the Nikon 5200.  But I heard the kit lens is pretty pants

I used to be Nikon and still hanker, but I can't tell you any more than you'll find in countless reviews.

I'm sure the body will be fine. You might even consider a good second hand one and put your money into glass. That's where you'll see the difference. I've bought many lenses new, but those I have bought second hand have been just fine.

So what camera are you using now and why would you go mirrorless?

Being old school.  I was always taught, you cant beat the, "what you can see,is what you get" with a mirror camera
