Spider in F minor

Shot in low light, f8, this spider really did try to sit still. Intimidating eyes!

@Joost: I tried f8 in stead of f22, which in this case would have taken too long for the spider to sit still, sharpness has increased. Thanks for pointing it out again! Posted 13 years ago

It's my pleasure.
The lack of color gives a very dark atmosphere to this spider which I like. Posted 13 years ago

I don't know how you did it, but somehow the atmosphere in this photo breathes SPIDER. Excellent! Posted 13 years ago

Thanks Ferdy! i did have Shelob in mind, the epic spider giant from the Lord of the Rings, so I am really glad that did work out! Ode to JRR Tolkien:) Posted 13 years ago
