Spiderman

This isn't very well taken. The background are too distracting in my opinion.

But the subject is very sharp. How did u do that?

very nice !!

mpenza · 28th January 2002

big and awesome!!! are you very close to the spider?

cheewee · 28th January 2002

Thanks everyone!

Well, I was cycling somewhere in Ubin and I spotted this giant spider. It is about the size of a palm. Quite scary. I have no idea if it is poisonous or not.

But after I took one shot, I wanted to get nearer and nearer. I was like 4-5cm close.

All for the love of photography. I might be lying in hospital if things went bad. haa..

Wow! Nice shot!

I liked hoe the back of the spider looked like the face of a little man staring right at me!

Plenty of these spiders in Tekong , and they always like to build their webs around your shoulder/face level in the forest. If u're not careful you'll smack right into them.

I remember my BMT days in Tekong when my PC walk right into one!! His action afterwards trying to get rid of the whole stuff was hilarious!!!!

No add on lens, no extra filter. Just an old Nikon Coolpix 880.

Wow.... this looks great.

Now I am tempted to get the Nikon 885
