Thank you to Ken The Bug Guy for donating this month’s prize and sponsoring our first official photo contest!
Horrible Spider has asked me to submit the following pictures of her. She's very photogenic, and is particularly proud of her little pink ballet slippers.
My photography tends to (usually) be a bit on the peculiar side. I play a lot with TTV (Through the Viewfinder) layers to create shots that are moody and evoke a feeling rather than simply show the subject as it is. Horrible Spider was particularly interested in showing her darker side in these shots.
Okay, so this one is pretty normal. This is her baby picture, taken on one of her rare outings.
Horrible Spider welcomes you to her home. Come in!
Give us a kiss!
Horrible Spider tries to capture the sun. Oddly enough, I didn't do anything to this pic. It was taken at night, and the light is from her heat lamp.
Horrible Spider dreams. This was taken through her web.
my "unique", trapdoor L. malayanus. it actually does come out once in a great while. it was like this for a day or 2 then created a new hole and has recently dug to the bottom of the KK
