    Wow, Karthik! That is a nice composition! Wasn't it scared of the flash? Did you take the shot in a natural environment or do you like them spiders at home:)? Well done! Posted 10 years ago

      Thanks Ludo.
      This was shot in its natural home. She wasn't disturbed by the flash at all. She was the boldest tarantula i have ever seen. I like the spiders to be in their "home" ;)       Posted 10 years ago

    Wow, that must have been a thrilling shoot. Honours to you.
    I am actually a bit arachnophobic of the bigger spiders:)     Posted 10 years ago
