A coworker had told me about a place just South of Saratoga Springs, Utah that was full of spiders. On this Sunday afternoon I decided to take a drive around Utah Lake to see what he was talking about. He said every fall the sage brush is full of these spiders. He under exagerated. There were literally thousands of them. It was the creepiest thing I had ever seen.

The Specs
f/13
1/160s
Exposure +.7

I overexposed this photo in hopes of getting a faster shutterspeed. My depth of field was shallow. In order to increase this I cranked the f stop up to f/13. I had to have a faster shutterspeed because the wind was constantly blowing and the spiders were moving. These spiders can move fast.

I like the symmetry of the legs.
I like the dark spider it has a mysterious look like it is ready to pounce.
I like the detail on the legs.
I would like to have a darker background may I will photoshop that in.
