Oh cool. Great details. We have just mini-spiders around here. But I guess I am an elsewise person, and most will have no positive feelings around spiders.
We had one in our bedroom too a few weeks ago. I don't like to kill huntsman spiders but I didn't want it in the bedroom all night so I had a hell of a job coaxing it into a bucket and throwing it outside. It kept the bucket until morning.
Amazing detail, you got pretty close. It's a wonder it didn't jump at you.
Incredible detail in this pic. You wouldn't even need a macro for photographing something this big. Yikes. So, inquiring minds want to know, did he get carried to the great outdoors (alive)?
Wonderful photo! When I was little, I was upset at night because there was a Daddy Long Legs on my wall. My mother told me it wouldn't hurt me. I said, "But it can crawl on me!" So she relented and put it outside.

Thanks everyone. To answer everyone's question and I should have included this in the description, I caught it and took it outside and let it go in the garden. The funy thing was as soon as it was o the ground, it made a bee-line for the open back door. We were trying to scare it and make it head in a different direction but it was determined to come back inside. We ended up having to get inside ourselves and close the door on it. Obviously didn't like the great outdoors.
Awesome shot. I think the Huntsman's are the good guys of the spider world. I like to catch and release them when I can as well. I is very amusing that it was a little scared of being outside.
When you have to set your aperture on 5.6 and still get DOF across the spider's length, you've got one enormous spider. I'm like you, Poppo, I find them in the house and set them "free" outside. Hope he learns to like the yard over the interior wall.
Great shot, they're more cute outside. He's another great friend and loves your home, just like that bird !! They sense the love. I release also when i find bugs in the house.
