... Photography, and pets.
This is an image, Shot with my Mamiya 645 Medium format camera, on Ilford FP4 @ ISO125. Developed in Ilfosol 1:9, 6.5min @ 20C. Printed on Kodak Polymax paper VC filter #2.5
Exposure was 1/30 @ f:8. Scaned on Epson perfection 1650 from the 1st gen 8X10 print.
I have a home darkroom, and about 6 cameras (all film) I love Black and white, and hope to do it semi-professional someday.
This is the first study Ive done with spiders.. I notice them more now, On the walls, at work, etc, ever since I started keeping one as a pet. .. Just the other day, I saw this really friggin cool looking spider at work. Small (maybe 3/8" to 1/2")Jet Black and furry, except the abdomen was solid red and kinda triangular shaped (Fattest near the Cephelothorax, and pointed at the spinnerettes) I wish I had a camera with me, It was really cute, he was obviously pissed at my intrusion, and threw up his tiny front legs in a defensive posture.. I couldnt help but laugh. My co-workers thought I was nuts.. :}
Oh, and the spider is our G. Rosea. (Scarf)
Anyone else here get flack from other "Non arachnid" types, that just don't / can't understand the fascination?
Edit: Damnit, Cant post anything bigger than 640pix.. Oh well..
