This beast crawled over my living room floor and I was able captured it! Apparently it's called a big house spider and quite common in sweden. I never seen anything like it. Big and furry.
Daddy long legs, vibrating spider, cellar spider, etc. I had no idea this spider has leopard like pattern on it's body...
Went to try something different to night. Went down by the river walkway and tried to photograph some spiders at night. It ended up being more difficult than I expected. While the spiders were quite active being able to get them in the view finder and to focus on them proved to be quite the challenge. I was able to get a few good shots though. focusing with a flashlight is harder than you might think. I have a plan for next time and am going to take a friend to hold a small LED work light for focus and a 2nd speed light to see if I can get better results
