John - The H. lividium pic is not a lividium. Think it is a Haplopelma albostriatum

Have you seen an adult male H. lividum many adult males of Haplopelma look like that..
(are you Donk from Sweden?)

Awesome. I love the photos of the freshly molted fangs for some reason. looks like ivory. :clap:

 

[Camberwell]

Good day all,

This is a picture i keep looking at, it a female Nhandu coloratovillosus

Camberwell

 

[Scorpendra]

it's not so great, but it's not everyday i can get my purpurea on "film" clearly.

 

[Tarantula]

Not a T but close enough, Macrothele calpeiana - adult female:

 

[Poeci]

mh... I do not think that many pictures have the right to be labled as "Arachnoboards best of collection: IMAGES", but in my optinion this is a very amazing picture of a Poecilotheria spec "tigris" female in defense position.

Hi Camberwell, truly a magnificent shot, I can see why you keep going back to this image. That's the thing, every now and then you'll capture an image that is truly stunning, yours is one of those for sure It doesn't have to be a T in some strange pose, this spider is just sitting there, but the image captured the spider perfectly, that's a best of image

All the other shots are great too, if it's the best of your shots, it fits in this thread nicely

The shot of an adult sp.tigris in defence pose is about as rare as you can get, another "best of" without doubt!!

[Gesticulator]

my personal "best of's"

A few molting shots of my female Grammostola actaeon

and my Avicularia metallica

and I always just liked this shot of one of my Avic avics

 

[tarcan]

It is quite hard to choose... I think this is close to my top five in my pictures...

Some are what I call my "award winning" pictures, that is when I am normally finally satisfied of a picture and I will stop taking pictures of that species because I feel it is pretty much the best I can do... like this A. versicolor and M. zebratum

Then there are the fun ones. I really like that mating picture of E. pachypus, shows how small is the male compared to the female.

I also like my T. blondi VS C. elegans mature male comparison...

And I have always liked that P. irminia picture

I hope you like them

I whole heartedly agree, Becca. the T blondi and C elegans shot is fantastic. Love the P irmina as well.

Mori, love the avic leg shot as well!

Your T. blondi vs C. elegans is by far the best shot I have ever seen. It is especially impressive when it is on a big screen and the blondi is 2 feet legspan lol.

 

[YouLosePayUp]

i have never seen or heard of a blue a.seemani! amazing where did you get that!

This A. seemanni came from Martin and Amanda at Tarantula Canada.

There should be some American dealers with it too I'm sure.

 

[Steve Nunn]

Hi Martin,
Awesome That's the best A.versicolor image I've ever seen, I've heard it's very hard to capture the colour of this spider.

I agree! It is really hard in fact. I've never managed to get a decent picture of Avicularia versicolor and I consider myself a fairly good photographer. Most of the time the pictures seems to get overexposed or the colors just doesn't seem realistic in any way. It might have something to do with the weird teal color of carapace, looking odd in a strong flash from the camera.
