Unwelcome Houseguest

Unwelcome Houseguest by JeremyHall.
This morning, as I was grabbing my gear to head off to work, I noticed a spider on the floor in my home office. He was a biggie, at least for our area, so it caught me a bit by surprise.

So what is the first thought that comes to mind...pull out the 100mm macro lens and get some shots of course!

I took some shots from a tripod but then ended up sitting the camera directly on the floor with the lens propped up by a USB thumb drive :)

Be sure to see the previous photo of a 100% crop of the spider's face.

EEEEEwwwwwwww.... I HATE SPIDERS! But I do like this one (cause I know it's not going to crawl over my foot at any second) and because your image of it is neat! I like what it's sitting on, it makes it an even creepier image!

Funny how the spider looks so good on your carpet...such similar colors. You must've been so quick to be able to take 2 shots of it before it crawled away!
