    boris.

    found this guy in the windowsill at work yesterday. didn't have a lot of time to shoot it, so it went into a houseplant (venus flytraps and pitcher plants) for a 15 minute photo session and a 15 minute photoshop session. EXIF embedded.

    It was really nice to find a summer/fall subject, I know I am beating a dead horse but I can't wait until the critters start moving again.




    and one a little closer.

    Great find Erik! It looks very natural with the house plant too. I keep looking in corners hoping to find something... anything to shoot! I can't wait for spring to get here!

    Wow what an awesome shot. Any idea on what kind of spider this is? You've done such a good job shooting it I'd believe it was a tarantula by the size of the shot lol. makes me wish I had a macro tube.

    Nice shooting, Erik. I'd say you got the focus dead-eye on the eyes - all of them
