These Orb Weavers seem to be everywhere I turn these days - as it's raining and not supposed to let up until nighttime, this is one from a few days ago.
Eek!
I once spent 20 mins. or so with an orb weaver practising manual focusing and attempting to overcome my aversion to spiders (I'm phobic but would never purposefully do anything to harm them). The manual focus practice was successful, the attempt to overcome the fear wasn't; I felt increasingly nauseated as time went by!
This is a cool capture, though and the processing works very well.
