Thanks Gigus,

I use a Fuji Finepix S5000, Its my first what I would call proper camera, I'm quite happy with the quality, alltho theres allways room for improvement

I got these macro lenses from ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330001483414
the sale has ended now, but i'm sure the guy will be selling more of them.

Very good pictures.

Good stuff. But how many hairs did they kick onto the lense? How close did you get for those shots?

Thanks guys

kick hairs? my spiders dont kick hairs, lol

but really, they didn't kick any, with my particular camera you can get upto 10cm away from the subject, I dont think i was quite that close, but the magnification on the lense is really good.

anyone else got some carapace shots to share, I quite like eye shots once I'v mastered my equipment I'll try to get in even closer

Stooka have you find out if its a hobby colour morph yet>?

very nice:clap:

 

[Camberwell]

another reason for getting the macro lenses was so I could take pictures of slings and actualy fill the frame with spider, rather than lots of substrate with a little spider in the middle of it.

took a few pics of my friends G.rosea and I'm quite happy with the rusults

not yet,ive spoke to a couple people and the general feeling is that its a regional variation but others from the same sac have turned out "normal" so im still not sure:? id like another though

well you know what youyve gotta do, Get breeding! and with a little in breeding of the slings youmay get a sustainable colour morph

Beautiful carapace shots!!!!!! The only lens I found available for my camera (Sony DSC-H5) was a "magnifying" lens. It only is beneficial outdoors or w/o flash, though.
