lol...thanks guys,the camera I'm using is an ancient relic of the old digital age (fuji finepix 50i),and i cant wait to get a new one...what i think happened was the spider must have jumped at the precise moment in time, to coincide with my shakey hands ...and he did it 4 times lol.. because usually macro shots on this camera turn blurry due to the slow shutter speed,fish pics are a definite no go area with this camera anyway thanks again...PEACE
