Our toiletspider revisited · 10:18 PM

Yesterday, I posted a macro photo of a spider that is living in our toilet (Kiss Me).
Yesterday evening, I tried to make some new portraits of this natural beauty, and I
think I had some better results now. So, here is a new try to document the
character of this male of this house spider Tegenaria atrica.

EDIT: On the Dutch forum, I was told there were some nasty spots on both sides of the spider. Don't see them here, but in this pic I tried to wash them away...

Great shot although I feel a bout of arachnophobia coming on

Nice shot! I have a tiny jumping spider that lives in our bathroom, might try and get a macro of it soon.

A nice shot, crisp sharp focus showing plenty of detail.

Those jumping spiders are fun! I like them, with their large eyes...

TOUGEFC · 04-13-2010, 12:28 AM

Yeah there large eyes and little bodys have so much character!

That spider looks great Rense

I don't mind a spider in the house, but ants, not so much.

**eccs19** · 04-13-2010, 04:21 AM

That's a very nice capture. I've always wondered how people get such clear / sharp macros. I don't think I do to bad until I see shots like these ones.

MoiVous · 04-13-2010, 05:10 AM

Beautifully detailed & well lit image Rense. I can see this walking across the room!

As was stated in another post - its macro season!

Cheers

Got some ant shots too, Tom. Thanks for looking and commenting!

Thank you! I use a tubular diffuser, home made, for less than US$2, I guess.... It provides the light when I shoot at f/16 and 1/180'..... Look here for the set up.

Nice and sharp Rense. It would be a long time before I used that toilet.

flippedgazelle · 04-13-2010, 07:27 AM

Fantastic closeup, really sharp & detailed and creepy.

**Iris** · 04-13-2010, 11:14 AM

Lovely picture Rense

(I can see the nasty spots on both sides of the spider quite well here at home, so thanks for the update)!

emr · 04-13-2010, 11:47 AM

A scary creature, well done!

(Waiting for "The return of the toiletspider", "The son of the toiletspider" and "The return of the son of the toiletspider"
