Spidey
OK - so I'm not usually one for taking macro's/micro's/close-ups/whatever you'd like to call them
But, thought I'd give the close-up filters a bit of a blast this morning... 
70-300G @ 210mm with tripod, 1/60 f13 Handheld SB800 with diffuser in remote iTTL mode (set to -1ev on the flash). Hoya +2 closeup filter 
Maybe not as crisp as a genuine macro lens, but acceptable from my point of view
Anyone know what this spider is? I presume it's just a common spider of some sort. *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Sheepie sheepie sheepie...not a bad shot my learned friend however stick to the panos...i.e the famous one of the bridge and opera house...you know how fond of this image I am. NIce shot here of Mr Spidey but your pano's walk all over this one
The leaf appears to have a unique kind of texture to it, maybe it has something to do with the DOF used in the shot...do u know what type of plant it is?Geoff
Special Moments Photography Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8VR, SB800 & some simple studio stuff.
I do! It's a feijoa tree

Now I know the reason for the post. It wasn't the image it was so you could tell us about the feijoa.  What country might this be native to? Could it be the land of the long white cloud
So far as the pic, a little soft and too much OOF foreground. Needs a tighter crop. Still, shows the benefit of the filters. Hope they weren't on your 70-300 G. Peter

It has an interesting flavour, although I'm not really sure how to describe it. I have often heard it described as an "aquired taste". You either like it or can't spit it out quickly enough! How old is your tree Sheepie? and how old was it before it started to bear fruit? I have one that is about 4yo but has never produced anything. 
I think it's about a year and a half old now - maybe even another year again. Got 5 feijoa's last year from many many flowers (many also started to fruit, but the wind got to them ). Hoping for a better crop this year - well, next year really (flowers over the next couple of months and then fruits, with maturity around May next year)
And Peter - like the 'kiwifruit', the feijoa is not native of NZ - but it is extremely popular over there *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
