Think this wolf spider just about managed a smile. Taken at 3:1 in a dwarf conifer

Excellent shot!
(I think it is a peace of the conifer in front to the left...)
It looks like he/she is on the way to the shop carriyng the green bag in one 'hand' :)

What was the set up (and f/T) used for this shot?

Nice one! I'm still waiting to photography my first. I only ever find them scurrying about the undergrowth to quick for me to get 'em. As least for now mwahahaha

Was he dead when you found him?
Nice shot by the way.

Thanks for the comments everybody :)
Tunedbeat- certainly was not dead.

Paul - I find them sunbathing and just approach them very carefully - even if you disturb them if you wait in position they will often re-appear after a min or two.

Sorry, his legs look curled up. So, I assumed he was dead, or maybe just groomin' himself.

LordV - I'd luv it if you could get a similar shot of one of our Funnel Web spiders. :) They are a bit dangerous though...

Awesome photo.

Cheers,

No think it's just gripping the fir needles it was sitting on :)

Hiya Brian,

An excellent portrait shot, I know I've said this before but these Wolfies remind me of ZZTop to look at.

Cheers for now
