Description Have you ever wanted to simultaneously drop dead from fear, and take a decent photo? *points up* I have!

This was the only one of the many photos I took of this spider to turn out. All the rest were blurry, likely because I was shaking.

That is the kind of spider that will give nightmares. It looks like he has cactus pokers on his legs! This is a really amazing photo... thumbs up to you for having the nerve to take it!

Pretty sure the reason so much was out of focus was just because of the depth of field on a macro shot. But thats one scary ass spider. I love it, nice shot.

Damn, this is so good that it gives me shivers. Spiders are pretty much the only thing I fear... I know how hard it is to get a decent photo of one. My hat goes off to you.

wolfskin In reply to somethingstrung [2006-03-23 03:35:51 +0000 UTC]

I'm still not a fan of getting in under them to take photos, either.

Thank you, both for the hat taking off and the fave!

Spiders are probably the one thing that I could never have as a pet.

Well, okay, not one thing. Throw snakes and scorpions in there, too. And...

oibyrd In reply to wolfskin [2006-02-01 06:27:29 +0000 UTC]

gah.....oh god, snakes are the WORST for me
Scorpions I don't mind because I've never actually SEEN a real one
plus it's my zodiac sign...and I think it would be some really bad karma to hate 'em .

You should check out *revxus for scorpion photos! Then you can fear them like any other rational person.
