Itsy Bitsy Spider
I visualized a spider in the sun image so today I set it up. I had a lot of fun playing around a bit with a Black Widow Spider. I finally got it into position with a wooden spoon. Those little buggers can crawl pretty fast!
I know I probably wouldn't die from the bite from one but none the less I wouldn't want to get bitten in he first place.
Hence the wooden spoon. I wasn't taking any chances.
God's light and precious love to all,
chris

Chris. I love your photos. I really like your subjects, natural and fine, they are wonderfully eclectic, but still obviously by the same artist.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Jane.
DeleteI was so happy to see that you set the shot up and didn't 'create' it in PS. I love this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gloria. I had a lot of fun doing this image trying to keep the spider away from my hands!
DeleteGreat realization of your vision. I don't think a wooden spoon would have been adequate to get me to encourage a black widow spider to be in one of my photographs!
ReplyDeleteSue, In retrospect if I were to do this image series again I would use a much longer spoon!
DeleteYour pictures are amazingggg! :)
