Erm, it's a spider. - a photo on Flickriver

            I was just sitting in the garden of my in-laws and this spider was in its web, with the late afternoon sun illuminating it perfectly, with the flowers behind.

The only way I could get it to focus was in manual mode, with the camera 1cm away from the spider.

I used max resolution (normally I don't bother with more than 6MP), forced 80 ASA and used superfine JPEG mode to make sure every detail was captured.

I tweaked the levels slightly in GIMP (it was a bit over-exposed) but that's all.
