Steve iv seen in some spiders there's quite a lot of hair around there so i have to ask did you shave her labium (thats it im banned).

 

[HaloMiles]

Ah why not? I've got a little Rosea, I feel like showing him off. My macro isn't very powerful, but it's good enough.

I'll post links, it'll save a little space on this page, it's on my page at an art site:

Of course, I can't get very close, he's still a little camera shy. By the way, Lorgakor, I love your Blondi shot!

Errrr, why would you be banned for making a strange innuendo about tarantula mouth parts?

 

[HaloMiles]

Soundslike you got lucky then Lorgakor!

 

[Schlyne]

Nowhere as good as many of the other submissions, but I do what I can.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the camera it's a Canon Digital Rebel. I still don't do it justice. I haven't had enough time to sit down and really play with it. As for lenses, I think I may have taken that with the tamron 300mm, can't recall without looknig at the picture info. I need a better lighting setup.

Well,

Need I say more?

-Don't forget to post which cameras are being used.

Here is my submision. I'm using a Canon PowerShot A85 with no macro lens. I need to get one of those soon.

Brachypelma smithi

That is a great picture mate and an equally beastie spider

 

[ArachnoJoost]

Beautiful pics all! I'm especially impressed by the E. cyanognathus shot of priZZ, incredible! :drool:
Here's my attempt at some marco photography, cam is a Fujifilm FinePix A210, 3,2 megapixel.

LOL, my friend! Now this is an ugly amphibian! But a nice picture also. Very good sharpness, colors, and good digital art, with a very good typography. As usuall.

Back to topic: what about this macro?

Some sort of Collembola (anybody knows the scientic name of this little fellas?):

And yes, I'm still using the Ricoh Caplio RR30... ;P
