I am really enjoying this new STEEM-powered camera!
For so many years, photography wasn't really even an interest. With no real outlet for it, I just carried on with other things in life. Now, thanks to steemit, I have and outlet, and even a new STEEM-Powered camera to take my photos with.
It is exciting and rewarding to be able to get right up in the face of a creature like this and take some excellent photos. I am so amazed by all the creatures that live around us, and documenting them in such daring detail is a treasure. I am so glad that I was able to run into another Tarantula and take the opportunity to shoot some photos. Here they are.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-tarantula-II
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Up close it looks fuzzy and sort of cute, though spiders give me the heebie-jeebies. I used to be terrified of them but now I'm able to observe them calmly as long as it's outside. We don't have tarantulas here in north GA, although some spiders come close in size. Also, I am so, so thankful spiders don't fly.
Thankful they do not fly - LOL! Good point!
Eeeek! This is a little too close to the creature!!
I'm supposed to be, but I guess I could use the zoom next time.
he is so hairy!
He sure is!
You are my Hero @papa-peper!!!
I could be friends with a snake but I don't know about tarantulas...
i hate spiders
How do they feel about you?
Seriously thinking of buying a new camera for the same reason I understand what you are saying but there's no way I'm getting that close to a big hairy spider like that although they are great pictures cheers
Thanks, I'm trying to experiment with underwater too!
Wow, really great pictures @papa-pepper!
Thanks @future24!
I am agree with you @future24
I agree too! LOL!
hi hi hi........ We agree with 'upvote'. but you agree with "lol"
tell me what is better? :P @papa-pepper
I agreed with "great pictures!" LOL
That is very close, take care!
Creepy. Yet calming
@papa-pepper
Thanks!
Omg you will be a spiderman haha
Dude I had 6 ranging from mexican red knee to Avic versi. Loved my tarantulas and want to get some again.
@papa-pepper, you always furnish us with beautiful pictures and stories...keep it up and thanks for sharing
I try. It is fun for me to do it anyway, but I am glad that I can share too!
Great, keep up the good work
Nice post! I have need your blessings. Please read my post. God bless you!
Yooo! Those photos are awesome. Which kind of Tspider is it....and nice shot with it on your arm, it looks friendly
So cute ❤❤
Wow! @papa-pepper is it poisonous?
OMG spider 😰. Yikeszz
And leech too? I'm soooo scared of leeches! Wow you are so brave:)
Very Nice Pictures! Super clear. Thanks to Steemit! Lol. And as always, Great post man!
Best pointed elsewhere, this new camera. Nothing against spiders, but this one is a bit over the top 8-).
LOL! Very funny @ocrdu!
Whats the specification
Especially like the 'proof of tarantula' 😂😂😂😉😎
Wow, the picture quality is amazing. Now we get to see @papa-pepper in High Pixelation! Super cool! You are a dangerous creature magnet. Creatures just slither and crawl around thinking, "Hmmm... where is @papa-pepper today?". I wonder if they have a star to follow and find you!
LOL, yeah they are all over the place, but we appreciate each other!
wow..dont they bite?
Wow nice close ups. Great shots!
Great photos papa
Omg you are crazy! :) Great shots
I think this spider is harmless to humans except the bite is very painful, and their mild venom is weaker than a typical bee's still I'm messing around with it
Ah!!! I saw one when I first moved to the country...they look so scary..but I guess they don't bite? or do they? great photos..so clear..
I love it! Especially the close-up of the eyes, that's so neat!
I sent the idea of my contest on steemit.chat @papa-pepper. Sorry for the off-topic
Holy tarantula!! So you just ran into a Tarantula and decided to take a selfie with it? Wow! :D I don't even run into regular spiders where I live! :(
Awesome pictures btw!
Give credit where credit is due, I damn sure wouldn't of picked it up!
But nice pics
@papa-pepper... If and when you get your first Tarantula "BITE" will you take a close up picture of it with your new STEEM-powered camera. Igot bit by a stray cat I was feeding afew days ago. Here's proof
thanks for the tarantula post. Story of how I got the bite... @manorvillemike
But you said that cat bite was your fault, right? LOL - here's proof
Would you like to see my TICK bites?,,, lol
Zoinks! That looks, not so fun.
It looks on your hand like the best tattoo ever. Nature, the best artist, tattoo artist }=-)
My brother enjoys exotic pets. He had a bird eating spider once. I have a king snake. I fell in love with them in highschool. Thank you for your posts!
hahaha.. Selfie with spider looking even nice. Thanks for the post @papa-pepper
ugh WHY Spiders! ....
Stunning Shots !!!
I am absolutely terrified of arachnids but I still couldn't stop myself from looking at these pictures. It seems like my curiousity outweighs my fear. geat post!
Awesome pictures. I once held a tarantula in my hand, don't mind saying it freaked me right out. I am very new to photography and think I did prety good getting a humming bird. At least my friends thought so lol. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed! I'm not a spider guy. Those close ups are too close! Great shots. Give me the heebeejeebee's!
Beautiful images of a wonderful creature.
AAACK!!! I couldn't look away! Awesome pics....still scared of them a bit!
I'm not petrified of spiders and tarantulas, but I definitely don't want them on me! If this guy was on me, I would squeal like a little girl. Haha! But your photos are great and I appreciate your ability to get up close and personal with this eight-legged creature!
At first I thought, "How close did he get to that spider?" Then me scrolled and scrolled and buddy, you got close to that big ol spider. Uhhh... Wild Spider?
