Thanks Steve. I think, the best pix on AB are from No name. But with that kind of camera it is no surprise, to make good pix. But the quality depends also on the knowledge of the photographer.

0.1 Haplopelma albostriatum adult (SIMON, 1886) Close-Up.

Here is my T. blondi.
....

one question abt blondi! is she old or hasn't molted for a longer time? She (her skin) looks a litlle bit ... outworn!
I have mine and she looked like yours when she hasn't been molting for a longer time (when I recieved her I thought that she was very, very old) - after the molt - she started to look like "normal" - like new!

Hi Pajak, sorry I didn't see that post until just now! Yeah, he is looking very scruffy, definitely needs to molt. When that will happen I have no idea! I don't know when he molted last as I have only had him for just over a month, but I hope it will be sooner than later. It would be nice to see him darken up, or change colour a little.

0.1 Poecilotheria fasciata adult (LATREILLE, 1804)

 

[T.Raab]

if you mean 300% Sharpness is everytime good ? ; ... try the next time to make -1 in your cam sharpness options.

greetings

There is no sharpness option on my camera. Just PS work. But it is also good without sharpness, I used the filter just to make everything visible.

But if You need any advise, to make better shots, I'll help, honestly. LOL! Even if I have a grad A crappy cam. You know: not just the cam make the good pix, it is also the photographer.

Not one level of sharpness on this, just Despeckle, Resize, Auto Contrast, and Levels.

1.0 Xenesthis immanis semiadult (AUSSERER, 1875)

Who said that? And what was the LOL for, what do You think? I was joking.

 

[T.Raab]

if you use the shortform "LOL" for joking, you havent understand this term.... so.. enough off topic.

I have a question for you macro folks. What do you know/ think of the Canon Powershot S70 and Fujifilm E-550 ? I want to get a proper digital this spring, mostly for close-up invert photography, and these are two contenders for my money. If you know anything about these two cameras, or if you have a different recommendation for under $600, please let me know. Thanks.

 

[Hendrik C.]

Well,

I can recommend you the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. I paid about 450 Euro for it. It's a very good camera for macro pictures.
