Samsung WB800F Smart mode: Macro

The Crab Orb Spider, a cute little guy, but a bit tricky to photograph. Since the spider is so small, there is always more background than spider for the camera to use for autofocus, and the web is always blowing in the breeze:

1. I usually focus on an object the same distance from the lens as the spider
2. lock in the focus (half press shudder)
3. go back to the spider in viewfinder
4. depress shudder fully

It took me at least 15 tries to get this picture.
