wow, thats a closeup!

lol thanks

You can get a lot closer when they're dead (Nice shot, though)

woow... appears living in the photo itself

I believe these little guys jump pretty well unless it's on a glueboard Great shot.

Very nice. How did you get him to cooperate?

awww the eyes look so sad BUT WOW WHat an amazing picture!

I had it on a big white paper.... under a large plastic container. I let it sit for a while and carefully took the container off and it stayed. I took lots of shots.... but eventually it got ticked off (flash going off in 8 eyes will do that i suppose LOL) and jumped. Thank God it didn't jump at me but in a different direction.

What was your lighting for this? It's such a nice even tone all over

oh yea and um.. what happened to it after it jumped? Please tell me this isn't a pet!

I bounced a diffused flash against a white paper behind it. No it isnt a pet. I hate spiders!!!!! Took all i had to do this.

And this thing was in yer house? Wtf kinda animals you got where you live? Lol

Lovely shot - great DOF and white background makes the object stands out as well as great as a reflector on the spider to add the clarity and details on it - well done

3 1st places this week, well done.

congrats on your well deserved win!

Wow its awesome , i got scared after seeing this :O
