Spider rescue

Never thought I'd be one to rescue spiders from my girls bedroom and then photograph them. I was doing really well until s/he (the spider) started crawling directly at me! :)

best viewed extra large if you dare. :)

Um.... is he missing a leg? Neat shadows!

[Kathy]

A wonderful close-up.

OMG! Yikes! If it comes into my house, it will not survive because I am too scared of them! I do rescue and let ladybugs outside though. :)

Fantastic macro and the shadow really adds to the photo.

[Issi Bannerman]

Super shot, and I totally get your concern as it advanced towards you!

[Graeme Stevens]

Large. Kill it with fire.

[Peter]

Superb clarity and composition and not a sign of camera shake at all Nova well done one all counts:)

[Suzie Townsend]

Oh, dear me! I would never have the nerve to do that! That is what husbands are for! But your image makes it all worth it. Great capture! Now I can see what they look like close up. Thank you! FAV!

Thanks for stopping by and viewing my creepy spider. I did set it up on my kitchen table, got my light positioned, a book for it to pose on (which it did not) and gardening gloves incase s/he had to be captured again.

I used the table to rest my camera on so I could get nice and close with my macro lens and voila, this is the result. :)

I love it when you can see their hairy bits.
