    eeewwww! I have shot some previously too... not my favorite subject. Fishes nicer.

    Anyway, here's one which I might have shown previously..



    Oh.. and this one is very interesting...



    Let's see who can help me ID this species.

    Cheers,

    May I know what lens are you using?

    My favourite are cobalt blue and pink toe, but cobalt blue is too expensive and dangerous to handle. Pink toe is really beautiful but in the end I only settled for a chilean rose as they are easiest and cheapest to play with

    physical "closeness" is not the key, but rather the magnification. most were taken at 1:1 magnification.

    Wow, very nice spider photo !

    By the way, have anyone taken before photos of those spiders that we used to catch during our childhood days. It will be great to see some of those here to revise our long lost memories..
