Submitter's name:	Chris Barrett
Title :	Tegenaria gigantea female.
Gear Used :	OM-2n, 50mm f/3.5 Macro, with a 12mm Vivitar extension tube and the 2X-A converter, T20, T32, Bounce Grip 2.
Diaphragm :	f16
Shutter speed:	Auto exposure.
Technical Information :	I took it using the 50mm f/3.5 Macro, with a 12mm Vivitar extension tube and the 2X-A converter. This gave me about 1.6x magnification. Light was supplied by a T20 next to the lens, and a T32 on a Bounce Grip 2.
Subject Information :	This little lady was hiding in a gap in our rabbit run, when I dismantled it (the run not the spider). It is quite an old female maybe a couple of years, and on the large size for its species at about 20mm body length. We usually see the males of the species in the autumn months, when they leave their webs to court females.

That is one startling image! Boy am I glad I'm not a small insect which might run into such a monster! :)

Gee, I guess the photographer must be Chris Barrett. Very nice. One to be proud of.

Nice focus and composition I should say. An excellent Macro entry and a brave photographer (no, I am not afraid of spiders, even large ones :>)).

My wife has me killing spiders around the house. If I encountered that one, we'd be moving!

Reminiscent of the "tripods" from War of the Worlds, except this one has eight legs. I get a sense of determined, intrepid motion toward the camera lens looking at this; as if the spider is coming out to challenge the camera intrusion. The magnification (cropping?) enhances this. Great visualization to capture this. Also, good overall image of the spider given its coloring is intended to blend and camouflage it with the surroundings. Many wild creatures are difficult to photograph in natural habitat because of this. Well done.
