I do like spiders

3 years 3 months ago #706763 by Paul Iddon
My first photographic contribution to the forum...

This is a male common giant house spider (Latin names Tegenaria gigantea, or more recently Eratigena duellica) - not fully grown but getting there. I moved him onto a more conducive background rather than the carpet in the living room, but he didn't mind one bit!




This was taken last year using my diffused ringflash. I have now replaced that flash with a twin flash unit, so 2021 will see a hopefully improved light source.

Both gorgeous and somewhat terrifying!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

The sharpness on the face is just top and the all the details of what we see from the body and legs are just dope!
