yellow scare
Posted by ally (: (Singapore, Singapore) on 8 July 2007 in Animal & Insect.
this yellow dude hopped onto my camera while i was attempting to take a photo of him. i think i shrieked. honestly, i can't remember. i was too busy trying not to drop my camera whilst attempting to bravely shake him off. haha. unfortunately, i didnt have my dslr/macro lens around. hence, this wasn't as macro as i wanted it to be but oh wells! i seem to have an affinity with yellow spiders though, as you'll see in my next update (:
will be going for a sleepover tomorrow, so i'll probably catch up with you guys on weds or thurs! :D

That is totally cool - even more amazing, looks like the same rock I shot my bug today on. Never seen the like of that spider, though. Not too upset about that, either. :)

I am just like you, except, I may prolly drop my cam. Oh gosh! *sobs*
I try to stay away from bugs but sometimes you can't help but wanting to take an interesting close up shot of a bug. I.shall.be.brave. *phew*
The picture is great. I like the close up and the details. Nicely done ally.

Still a great picture... At least, your arachnophobia is not as severe as me, as you can take pictures of them, while I can't!

I hate spiders but do like to watch them spinning the web sitting a little far away from the 6-legged freaks...
Anyways a good capture too
