Spiders are everywhere right now…
Usually I see the spiderwebs that you would expect, the perfectly spun circles that Halloween decorations emulate…
This year we’ve seen several different types of spiders and webs. We’ve even seen a black widow… I haven’t had the guts to take that one’s photo yet, heh.
It took some bracing and psyching out for me to take the photos below.
I was drawn to the strange web design… it reminds me of how crystals are formed…
The spider itself was rather scary… it has spikes (or horns) on it’s back…
A different angle shows that there is also a face (or mask) on it’s back… (Darth Maul)… eep…
I was thinking of doing a series of spider photos but after this guy and the black widow, I decided I didn’t want the nightmares… heh.
Until next time…

I hope you were using a LOT longer lens than that 40mm! Ewwww. Cool images…nice technique and lighting and compositions…but really, EWWWWW!!!
Cia,
These were taken with a 180mm macro lens so I was able to be a safe distance from that scary spider. š
