Still trying to learn how to shoot jumping spider portraits. When the spider looks up at me, the window of opportunity to get the focus right is just a few seconds. With a lighter camera setup, the chances for success is greater.
Here's one image. Nothing spectacular, but hopefully better stuff next time.

1/200 sec, f13, 90D,90mm Tamron with Raynox250 built in flash with diffusion collar attached to front of lens, image cropped tighter.

Fine portrait, Darren. It hard to get the right pose with a jumping spider, but you did it in this image.

I think you've caught the moment of head tilt and eye contact very well indeed, Darren! Well done!
