Yes that was my observation as well. I took a whole pile of test shots and the only time purples were really visible was when I tried matching the viewing angle of the camera by keeping second flash right underneath or above the lens. Still doesn't do this spider justice though it's definitely one of those species that has to be seen in person.Yeah it is! Takes a good bit of trial and error with different lighting and viewing angles.
I generally prefer lighting from overhead, slanted to one side or the other or even slightly back-lit. But the purples seem to come out best when the lighting angle more nearly matches the viewing angle in my experience.
