Post 22- Spiders and a new genre Macrop

I have become obsessed with Spiders. The garden is full of them and unlike other insects they make good subjects because they remain still for hours at a time. I have really enjoyed just snapping off a few shots and then going inside to select and process the files.
I am very happy with the quality of the images all of which have been captured on a conventional 55-200mm zoom lens. I have been able to crop these images to fill the frame with my subject and still achieve a very good level of detail. At this point I see no compelling reason to buy specialist Macro lenses.
I intend to coin the phrase Macrop Photography to describe this genre.

I have also produced a more abstract black and white version of one of the images and am very pleased with the resulting image.

Moy read that some people are using big telephoto lenses to take macro shots. All mine are currently taken with a 200mm zoom lens and I am pleased with the results. Maybe I will have a go with our 400mm zoom lens to seek what I can get?
