André, seja bem vindo ao Noah. Agora arruma uma máquina e sai tirando fotos que eu sei que tem muita coisa legal ai para você fotografar. Não se preocupe com o inglês, pode escrever em português se achar mais fácil. Se quiser algumas dicas de máquinas fotográficas eu te ajudo. Abraços !

Jumps straight to the top of the coolest spider in the world for me, amongst some very strong competition! Thank you!!

Am I the only one here who thinks this looks a lot like some character from the Muppet Show (when seen in profile)? :-)
