Huntsman

That’s incredible!! Makes it feel like a giant creature. Fantastic detail.

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 !

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.

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.

wow, glad we dont get spiders this big in Ireland!! Amazing shot though, incredible detail. some great wildlife shots here Kies.

Hey great macro, they do look so much more evil when you are up that close

Thanks guys!!!

Amazing detail – Quite glad I can see it this close up as a photo only though

I love Huntsmen! My favourite spiders as they frighten away all of the evil funnel webs. Lovely shot, the focus is perfect and the background looks great too.

Top spider,and macro!!!

A beautiful macro,Kies!!!

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.

Evil looking beast – what a terrific macro.

awsome shot!!! did he act aggresive or did he just let you take the shot? absolutely wild…..love it~!

Thanks all for your comments.
No he wasn’t aggresive these spiders are generally quite placid but they can move super quick .

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
Great shot – hideous subject. You are a brave woman

Yuk – this is one of the reasons I don’t live in OZ like my brother! A fantastic macro shot though.

Thanks Sharon and Justine

You are very brave. Excellent shot

Great macro with excellent light, details and good composition. The DOF and exposure are spot on. Vivid colors and excellent tonal range. In short… you nailed this image technically and visually.

G’day Kies,

A really great Huntsman shot with good impact, use of depth of field and sharp focus, exposed well in good light.
Very good work and well seen!
