And now about the spiders

[pilottttt]

This big and scary^{small and not scary at all} spider was discovered on our ceiling. It was my macro lens that made it big and scary ;)

Awwhh. I wanna pet the lil' guy! I've seen spiders like this before. Nice to view from a good camera!

Great shot! My husband is into photographing small critters too.

Well, it's not a problem at all to add a couple of tags to a post ;)

Thank you!

Oh, I think I've come across this before!

[pilottttt]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Before I thought to use a macro lens, it was "some kind of little thing sitting on the ceiling" ;)

[pilottttt]

I was surprised that its eyes were so clearly visible.

[pilottttt]

Thank you!

It turns out that the macroworld is interesting and diverse!

[pilottttt]

Apparently, yes. It's one of them.

[pilottttt]

To pet him will be difficult. I think you can fit several of them on one of your nails ;)

[pilottttt]

I'm glad you liked it!
Say hello to your husband for me!

And the more I think about it, the more the triggering of my phobia speaks to your ability to photograph spiders well. It's gotten a lot better and I rarely get triggered these days - sometimes not even by real spiders - but this photo did the trick. It just looks so... spidery.

Cool how the eyes are mostly hidden in the stripes!

[pilottttt]

Thanks! I'm flattered.
In my opinion, if a creative work does not cause any emotions at all, it means it is a "dummy".

[pilottttt]

Yes! Actually, spiders have a lot of them, but it doesn't immediately catch your eye ;)

[gingicat]

Indeed :)

I have a photo of a similarly-tiny spider that I took a decade ago, its little black eyes look almost like a crown. (It's on an apple near the stem, so the scale is very evident. I left that apple in the tree.)

[pilottttt]

Wow! And it can be viewed on the Internet?

[gingicat]

I'll post it sometime!

I had posted it to Flickr at the time - here it is! https://flic.kr/p/h57nFN
