, ISO 200, hand held.

Il Corteggiamento della Tarantola. Mentre camminavamo in leggera salita Antonio (la mia guida Indio) si ferma e indica un buco nel terreno. La tana di una tarantola. L'ingresso ha una circonferenza simile a quella di una pallina da ping-pong, il tunnel scende sotto terra con una pendenza graduale. "Proviamo a vedere se la padrona è in casa". Con delicatezza Antonio pone un piccolo bastoncino all'ingresso della tana. Sono un po' perplesso, in genere mi disturba vedere qualcuno infastidire, seppur in buona fede, gli animali selvatici. Ma Antonio ha dei modi così naturali che non dico nulla. Incuriosita dal bastoncino una grossa tarantola si affaccia. Antonio appoggia la mano davanti alla tana. Muove lentamente le dita come se seguisse un rituale prestabilito. La tarantola si lascia corteggiare per qualche minuto poi, come sedotta dal dolce danzare del suo corteggiatore, sale di sua spontanea volontà sulla mano di Antonio. Si alza per mostrarcela in tutto il suo splendore. Dolcemente le carezza il dorso. Lei sembra gradire. "Tutto dipende da come ti muovi. Devi farle capire che non sei aggressivo". Antonio prosegue nel suo racconto. "Quest'esemplare è piccolo, non ha veleno sufficiente ad uccidere un uomo adulto ma il dolore provocato da un suo morso è terribile e può durare per più di 24 ore". Bene, ricaccio in gola l'ipotesi di chiedere ad Antonio di provare a tenerla. E' roba da Indios. [tratto da "Alla Ricerca delle Montagne"] Nikon D60 + nikon 70-300VR @85mm. ISO 200, 1/60", f/4.8, mano libera

Beautiful photos, even manages to make less intense my arachnophobia ;)

Thanks for the steps!
I'm working on my first site in which I raccolgiere my travel experiences. I would also like to propose Juza my diary of this trip for the "JuzaMagazine" hopefully it will be up to it!

This example, however, it does not seem so small! :)


Me too did not seem small .. sometimes the indium tend a bit 'to exaggerate the reality .. but I do not know the forest you have to expect everything. Shortly after that while we gathered the acorns (which were hidden inside the larvae edible), Antonio yelling at me "Look do not put your hand there!" Too late .. there were ants as big as a 1 euro coin that I had not seen in the shadows .. a bit me .. apart from the burning could not staccarmela by hand a monstrous strength when compared to the size (though remarkable for an ant!)
