I just read that these are quite aggresive and will chase you if agitated

luckily,, this guy was quite shy and didnt stick around very long

Like the back lighting in this but again, it seems you need to crank up the flash a bit and stop down more for better DOF. Then again...I dunno, can't do much better myself most of the time.

,, thanks Ken,,, this is another one of those,, actually got 2 shots off on this guy before he took off,, not a whole lot of time to adjust

thanks again for the input

It does need some DOF adjustment

I have seen these up here in New hampshire (or their northern Cousins). Rather large black jumpers with bright green fangs.....you always remember the fangs...the fangs....the fangs

Sorta like a customized, tricked-out spider.

What great colours, and portrait shot getting him to look at you just right, nice shot.
