My first Spider

[mmeyer]

I finally got my first keeper spider shot with the macro. It's not a big juicy one, it was actually about the size of my pinky finger nail, but it was pretty cool. I kept waiting for the thing to jump onto my lens.

Sweet shot, Mike! Love the BG washing its red tones onto the spider. Good work!

[Deitz Dittrich]

not to disagree with you mr.Foss... aint nothing sweet about that shot... But only because I hate them things.. yuck.. LOL

got the heebie jeebies just looking at the thing!

Very nice pict, ugly subject!

Geeez! I don't like those things either Well done Mike.

I usually see spider and don't bother, hate the darn things. But great shot on the red background.

Nice shot!!

Gee, has everyone got arachnophobia? Actually, I'd rather sit in a tank full of snakes than get just one of these 8 legged atrocities on me. Mike, you're just lucky it didn't jump on you.

Nice shot, the red really makes it jump out.

Wow, another great pic! Unbelievable work!

Loved the spider. The only 2 bugs that made me freek out are the 2 that flew down my shirt at work. Had the quivers all night. After it was kinda funny one of my friends got flashed and the other had to get em out.

That's hilarious DeeDee. I hope they were women friends.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I don't get too freaked out with spiders. If I did I wouldn't be married cuz my wife calls on me to rid the world of spiders. I sent her this pic at work to surprise her. She didn't really appreciate it. She wasn't too happy that I didn't kill it. It didn't do anything to deserve that. It was a nice model.

Thanks again
