Hopper macro

[Draiman]

I offered this poor guy to my unidentified mygalomorph spider after taking a few photos, and she devoured it (spider ate the hopper, duh)! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the kill or the feast.

It's just the 18-55mm kit lens, fitted with a macro filter. I don't have an external flash, so it's simply the inbuilt flash, with a diffuser of course.

hmmm....where do you get one of these macro filters?

Your local camera store should have them for sale.

Nope, no extension tube, and it's +10; the maker is Hoya.
