This photograph wouldn't win any prizes for technical expertise but the fact that I took it into the sun, failed to focus properly and paid no heed to the depth of field or background actually speaks volumes about my state of unease as I captured my
one shot of this moment at Longleat Animal Park a couple of years ago.
My daughter shows no evidence of anything other than being completely relaxed and beaming with pleasure.

Fearless
Great photo, i love spiders x
ReplyDeleteBlimey, that is a big one!
ReplyDeleteEwww, that makes me feel a bit sick. She's one brave girl!
ReplyDeletelol that should come with a warning. I looked at the lovely smiling face and then noticed the hairy beast :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo! I like the way the sun is shining and I love Spiders!
ReplyDeleteArgh! That should have had a warning. I jumped a little. I would love to do that though strangely enough. I've actually become less fearful of spiders since having my daughter as I don't want my fear to rub off on to her like my Mums fear did with me.
ReplyDeleteSuper photo!
xx
What a great photo! She looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteOh my word she is brave - it gives me the creeps to think about it!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot, and the reason the lightening and focus is the way it is, is simply because you were doing what all normal parents would do-snapping quickly and getting the hell out of there!!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by
Fantastic! I HATE spiders, so I still reckon the fact I did the same thing (without the smile) at the Edinburgh Butterfly place about a month ago is the greatest act of selfless maternal love I have yet performed for my daughters....
ReplyDeleteOh My Good God! How can she hold that thing and smile? Great photo there but the hair on the back of my neck is on end
ReplyDeleteShe is very brave I couldn't do that! *shudders* it's a lovely photo of your fearless daughter x
ReplyDeleteOMG you are so brave, my husband would have ran a mile lol great picture
ReplyDeleteYikes! What a fantastic photo and I think you're all very brave (and perhaps a little bit mental!). I'm not scared of normal spiders, but that hairy monstrosity....ugh!
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps your daughter is chilled out because she can shoot heat rays out of her eyes :D xX
That is a great photo I personally hate spiders, but love this picture and I don't know why really! xx
ReplyDeleteMy, my - you are brave! I would have run a mile annihilating everything in my way. ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh God what an Ace photo...and what a brave girl! Love it! x
ReplyDeleteYou made me jump....very brave @Kahanka
ReplyDeleteOh cute. They feel really sweet when they climb over your face too.
