	Big and ugly Manual mode, low flash, 1/60 ss, aperture 8. Taking this photo I remembered Jim's tenth tip: Be bold. I had to be to put my hand and camera 7 cm from this giant spider to take this picture. Well, I am glad it was in a good mood. The spider was released in the wild just after the photo session, asking for a copy. :) Rafael Sarres

Sorry, I do not know the species, but this shot was taken in a Farm in Goias, Brazil.
