[Leica] IMG: Predatory spider

[Douglas Sharp]

Hi Jim,

thanks - I think I might try using a tripod to eke out 
the last bit of sharpness, but the tiny flash seems to 
work pretty well at freezing the subjects and gives me 
the chance to use f/16 or 22 to compensate for the 
shallow DOF of the macro lens.

Cheers
Douglas
