Urk – How are you shooting this stuff ? Macro lens obviously, but lighting ? fish tanks or some kind of container for the critters ? Just right place right time ? I’m impressed at anyrate !
kies
Thanks guys for your comments!
This fellow along with his mates were hiding underneath the bark of our gum tree out the back.
He was the only one kind enough ( tough enough) not to run and hide once I pulled the bark away he just sat there. I think he wanted a piece of me though for disturbing him.
I was lucky as I was already set up to shoot.
Andrew Bosman
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so cool. It has incredible detail. I’m impressed. I would have run in the other direction screaming if I’d found him.

That is so amazing. But disturbing…as a kiwi now living in Australia, the first time I saw a huntsman I didn’t want to believe it was real!!
Great detail.

awsome shot!!! did he act aggresive or did he just let you take the shot? absolutely wild…..love it~!
kies
Thanks all for your comments.
No he wasn’t aggresive these spiders are generally quite placid but they can move super quick .
