Once Again: Off Topic, but Kinda Cool

[Traveller]

OK, I know this isn't about Cali Women or anything like that. But this is a really cool photo I took this morning and I DID take it in Cali. (Pete's Place to be more precise) You could say it's a Colombian Native.
Give me a break, I got a new camera and I'm experimenting.
If you're interested, I took it with the Canon G6.

Was that sucker? Since I have an apartment,not a finca.
We have a  15ft by 20ft planter area on the patio.It has some trees and bushes in it,like a little patch of jungle.My maid  won't go in to it,she says "animales".
Thats where the camera subject was,not in the house.The patio itself is huge,about 4000 sq. ft.There are 3 units per floor here,9 floors.The 3 units on floor one get a big patio.We do have 3 floors of parking garage below that,so we are not on ground level.
I hate spiders.They might be interesting,as this photo shows,but my first reaction is yuck,squash that sucker.I haven't seen one of any size in the house in months,they fumigate for us.
Funny,the girls can get more concerned about a rat.We had a little one hang out in the bushes.The girls would go bonkers if they saw him.To me rats,more like a big mouse,are no problemo.Well this little sucker wandered up on the perimiter wall of the complex and got a fatal lesson in electricty.There is an electrical wire,like a little electric fence to keep him and his buddies out.The maintanance guys were at the door,trying to tell me something.It was let us remove that dead rat for you.

WOW!!!  That is the hottest Colombian spider I have ever seen!!  She is beautiful!!  I also bet she is way more friendly and outgoing in comparision to our spiders here in the good old USA.....and she is much thinner then fat the fat spiders we have here!!!

Sorry...could not resist!! Honestly...you have a nice camera and that is a great pic....

That's an excellent promo. photo for the G6!  I'd been thinking about getting a higher-end camera than my 3.2 mega pix. Sony digital, and been eyeing the G6.  It looks like a great starter camera for freelance/hobbiest photographers.

Hi,
Yeah, I had the Sony 3.3 DSC-S75. Great camera but the G6 is starting to be my favorite. Truly great shots and easy to use. I'm learning a little more about it everytime I use it. Wait till you see the shots I took of the models with it. Outstanding Photos.

Excellent photo. Your subject may not be as appealing as your usual ones, but you had the skill to capture it beautifully anyway. Good job.

Hey Thanks!
You know though, I think the spider is Female (researching it on the Net) and if thought about it, I think some people can draw comparisons between her and some of her two legged Calena counterparts. LOL! (Just a joke.)

You should have scooped her up and sold her on ebay. I am sure someone would find that she resembles someone or something famous! Great pix.
