Very beautifull spider Nice shoots!

PS. I think that You have incorrect white balance in your camera, pictures are in weird colors And don't forget that in species names you can't use capital letters, only in genus names.

Hey Dark Raptor:
I think this is a tarantula forum not a photography forum, (Can you imagine if I or We begin to critizize every single picture the members of this forum post. Also I´m member of a few photography forums were I pay $50 a year to be critizized by the pros, he he he he he watta irony.
FILM VS DIGITAL: it is an endless argument when talking about film or digital. I rarely manipulate my pics even in photoshop, nor touch the white balance of my camera, I only change it sometimes under harsh sun light. I been taking pics for several years, and I think my pics are in some way acceptable. Obviously pictures under sun light are always better but you need more time because your subjects will run away.
Comming from you I pay attention on your comments, cause your pics are acceptable too. As for the colors they seem just ok for me, but as you say colors and pictures could be always better IF YOU MANIPULATE THEM but will be altered pictures not original ones. by the way your colection is GREAT!!!
As for the capital letters, thanks for your comments

Marcelo my friend - great shots!
You know, I have several of these little guys running around my yard, you have inspired me to catch one. I am always fascinated by them when I run across them. Yours ate a FULL-SIZE cricket?? Wow.
Would you mind shooting a few quick pix of the encloseure you are housing yours in?

Thanks bud!

PS. Find any good WW2 items lately?

hey Bud hows it going ? I hope your are fine
Will you be at the archnocon?
I truly believe true spiders are more facinating to picture at than Ts, because they have bigger eyes in relation to the body size, They seem to use sun glasses . Same as most of the insects. Remember as a rule of thumb, eyes are the most important think in PORTRAITS, "EYES ARE THE MIRROW OF THE SOUL" he he he he

Well the "poor thing" does not have enclosure, I just put an unknown plant inside a 10 gals terrarium to prevent scapes, then I began to point and shoot. Right after I pictured at her I did free her again on my back yard.

PS. Regarding to the WWII items, at this time I quit buying stuff, because I have not traveled outside Mexico.

Thanks for all your comments, your comments inspired me to keep shooting and shooting.
