Old school... exellent. Do you find it hard to keep your viv's. looking good? I'd like to ad some plants to my tanks but will prob. go the fake route.

 

[DanCameron]

I really liked that 'dark' picture of your A. seemanni. He was curled up, and being a dark picture, it kinda gave him a mysterious look. Beautifuly H. lividum. Great pictures all around!

WOW :clap:
I am certain that most of us are jealous of your nice collection. Seems like you have it all together with collection/enclosures/pictures. Very very nice. If it would not be too much trouble could you please post a list of your entire collection so the rest of us can have a wish list? Thank you!

This is one of my blondi Tiny. Honestly, how many people have one named Tiny?

One more of Tiny, who is getting a little big for his shoebox, he may have ot move up to a sweater box.

Me tooling withg my new camera

I bought a Olympus FE-100 recently because it had the super macro mode. truth be told I miss film. I have ot use so much lighting all the pictures are coming out orange. If anyone has any advice on how to soften the lighting for a digital cam I would appreciate it.

This is Caeser my P. regalis. Still little but a freaking pig.

Here is a new addition, Barbie my N. vulpinus. He/she is eating a rather large dubia nymph.

This is a P. platyus I just also acquired recently. I wish teh colors were better because she is really stunning.

Looks like you may have the white balance set to the wrong type of light.
Just try them all, there's usually only a half dozen choices. 'Auto' works most of the time, if you really want to play, try the 'manual' option. One thing I do if the light is not to my liking is to use as little as possible, just enough to obtain focus, and rely on the flash.

<edit> Sorry i guess that model does not have white bal adj. The .8" macro is exceptionally close though.

[xgrafcorex]

nice shots there. yea i would experiment with new light sources. i think n vulpinus is definetly on my next order. i think they are somewhat underrated or something...never hear about them, but have seem some very nice shots of adults... http://www.swiftinverts.com/pix/NV2.JPG

 

[Hedorah99]

heres a few more.

Heres a few more of the lil' monsters that have stolen my free time. Any more incite on how to properly light for the shots would be appreciated.

This is Neo, my little A. minatrix sling. He is getting nice and big fairly quickly.

Here is Mr. Waternoose one of my G. aureostriatas.

And finally a mega close up of Timmy my B. smithi. This is the reason I got the camera. It took crystal clear shots in the store, which I have ot admit was much better lit than my house.

 

[becca81]

Are you using the flash?

 

[Hedorah99]

I am trying to, I don't think the fill-in mode works on the super macro mode. The manual for the camera was written by a 2nd grader so its pretty basic.

 

[Hedorah99]

Think I got the bugs out of the camera

After actually reading the ENTIRE manual, I think I solved my lighting problem and the focussing problem. Here's just a few more shots.

Two Mike Wazowski (B. auratum)

B. vagans

B. albopilosum

Molaram my C. fimbriatus

One of my two P. platyus.

First picture ever of my L. dificilis sling.

B. sabulosum

And finally a close up of Mr. Waternoose, my G. aureostriata.


Thanx for looking.
