I found this spider lurking in the corner of the workshop lean-to. A example of were there is no possibility of using a tripod. In fact even getting a reasonable angle that allowed viewing in the vewfinder was a problem. To give some sense of scale, the spiders egg ball is about 6mm in diameter.
I decided to give the D100 and pop-up flash a go.
Pic 1 ( full frame ) is with reversed 24mm at f16
Pic 2 ( full frame ) with Kenko 1.4tc and reversed 24mm at f16
Pic 3 shows kitchen towel used as pop-up flash diffuser. PK12 tube is on the end of the 24mm to act as a lens hood.
Pic 4 ( full frame ) D2X, standard 105mm, plus PK-12, PK-13 extension tubes plus bellows. ( Total 170mm extension ).
