The Arachnaphobes nightmare. This lady was in the sink in the morning and I couldn’t resist having a go at capturing her (only cos I knew she couldn’t get too close or she’d have got out of the sink!). Normally I hate spiders and you wouldn’t catch me in a room with one let alone photographing one, however once I’d looked into her (many) eyes I couldn’t bring myself to send her into the Dysons embrace. This was the first time I used a ring light for illumination and I’m fairly happy with the result, certainly opens up a lot more live subjects now. Not only is this the first House Spider (Eratigena atrica) I photographed but also the first I’ve managed to scoop up in a glass and relocate to the shed. #macro #macrophotography #spider #eratigenaatrica #ringflash #nature #naturephotography #housespider #scarey #arachnid #britishwildlife #britishspiders #beautyinnature #domesticwildlife #lodger #canon #sigmalenses #neewerringlight #beauty #unexpectedguest
