OK... Even I can miss the focus sometimes. But in my defense, it was dark out, and I was using my 55 MM Macro lens with a 2X extension tube stopped down to f-11. The only light source was the sky, and the sun had set at least a half an hour before I shot this. If I had set the f-stop to f-32 (where it should have been), I would not have been able to see this sucker at all. The spider's body was about 1/8" long. All in all I thought it turned out half way decent, and I learned something new. The next time I try this I will bring a flashlight so that I have a light to focus with.
