I found this spider spinning a web on the washing line in the back yard.
All photos were taken with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, along with a Canon 430EX flash with a homemade reflector attached to it.
Update: I've tentatively identified it as one of the many varieties of Australian Garden Orb Weaver spider.
