I would just like to start off by saying, YES, I am a Wedding and Portrait Photographer… Just incase you are a new reader and the photo’s below almost scared you off… Oops sorry about that…
And now back to the blog post… So…. anyone who is in Melbourne or indeed anywhere in the lower 1/2 of Australia will be well aware of the hot weather that we are currently “enjoying”… our vegetable garden looks as though it might be being cooked in the ground, poor baby carrots… :(
And as the mercury hit a solid 43degrees C this afternoon it became evident that its not easy on the local critters either…
While Huntsman Spiders are a regular night time visitor to our home, this guy decided to pop in for Afternoon tea...
He(?) crept into our Hallway at about 3.30pm and just sat on the roof for a while before being noticed by my lovely wife. No screaming, just a quite, “Hey Robb… Come and check this out…”
I kindly offered to take him(?) outside again and after a brief conversation regarding the matter, he reluctantly agreed and so I carried him out side while he sat on the palm of my hand.
As I approached the corner of our covered outdoor area, he decided to jump the last 40cm to the wall and then sat there quietly.
So I grabbed my 5D and took a few quick shots while he sat there and watched me, then I left him to do his thing and went back inside.
Here are a few more shots, its so similar to shooing Bridal Details and Ring shots, honest, it is…
A Huntsman's Hairy Leg... Something you don't often see on a bride.
I've got my eye on you... I have to admit, they are beautiful.
Eight Eyes... All the better to see you with...
