Advan's pic thread

I hadn't even seen these shots. Very very nice!!! The foot/claw shot is so sharp, and I love the fang shots. I am doing my best to keep the Hapalopus boy from being eaten this time...

 

[advan]

Really really nice C. schieodtei shots, I love this T! :biggrin: So how many more do you have that I know nothing about ... ? hehe

Thanks Michael! This girl is new.

Love the schioedtei shots, very nice!

Thanks Jeff!

Tremendous pics! I love the fang shots! Have you fed, I mean bred the Hapalopus Kolumbia to your female yet?

Thanks Joyce! The female belongs to April(opiate). As far as I know they have been introduced and she has been nice so far! hehe

Stunning shots again, Chad! Oh and Chase: I'm SO jealous about the juruensis! Lovely girl!

@Chad: I'm always amazed about your fang and tarsal claws shots...just amazing to see the detail you capture!

Thanks Jan!

Chad how big is that schioedtei? She is a looker for sure! I like how you were able to catch some of the blue hues they have on their legs.
@chase congrats again on that juru

She might be 5"? I was too busy taking pics to get out the tape measure.

Every time I post here I sound like a broken record...but amazing pics (as usual), Chad

LOVE the C. schioedtei. I want one so bad, but every time I go to buy one I can't find one. One day...

A fellow AB'er is coming over tonight to see my collection, she wants to help with spider stuff so we may rehouse the nigerrimum (if we don't drink too much wine lol), if we do I'll be sure to get some pics.

Thanks Shell! You should get one! You want me to start watching the Canadian market for you?

Wow, more incredible pics! Love the mass pics!

Thanks Robyn! and thanks for sharing my pics!

Another +1 man great shots is that the male I sent you?

Thanks Chris! Yep that's your boy!

I hadn't even seen these shots. Very very nice!!! The foot/claw shot is so sharp, and I love the fang shots. I am doing my best to keep the Hapalopus boy from being eaten this time...

Thanks April! Fingers crossed!


I got a new lens over the weekend. I didn't get it for shooting spiders but I had to give it a try. I wanted to try and capture colors without flash and try and null the saying "you only see the colors under a flashlight or flash". These next few shots were shot without flash, just my normal bedroom lighting was used. The shutter speed was slowed to enable enough light to enter the lens.

Avicularia sp. 'Peru Purple' w/ 35mm 1.8G

Same settings without flash but I switched to the 18-55mm kit lens. 55mm was the focal length used.

.........and back to the regular programming.


This little one is with web eviction now.

Man, I love the shots of the schioedtei pads! Fantastic shots Chad! How do I get to your level?

Thanks Michael! It's definitely a different take on shooting spiders!

Man, I love the shots of the schioedtei pads! Fantastic shots Chad! How do I get to your level?

Thanks Jason! I'm not sure! Just keep on shooting! Remember high F-stops equals better DOF and more things in focus.

That - 100%!

Thanks Jan!

Gorgeous E. olivacea!
I really need to avoid your photo thread, oh Master Enabler. My wish list keeps getting longer.... I was, however, able to remove I. mira from wish list today.

 

[Eldric]

Great pictures~! I am in LOVE with the Encyocratella olivacea.

I'm so happy I got those E.o. slings, such a spectacular T. :biggrin:

Beautiful work on the exuvium and 'looking out' shots Chad!
