Messing Around With New Camera

[pitbulllady]

I just broke down and bought a Nikon Coolpix S4, which has a really nice Macro feature. Probably more camera than I need, really, but I'm pleased with the results. Here are three pics I took tonight; in order, they show C. cyanopubescens eating, close-up of Avicularia metallica(I LOVE the eyes), and Homoeomma sp. "Blue"(in pre-moult)on a black background. If they don't show up, I'll post the links.

Wow!! Very nice pics. I bought a new camera the day after Thanksgiving but have't really messed with it. I don't think it can do as good as your though.

can you please post the links?....the pics aren't showing up for me....thanks....

Here are the links, for those for whom the pics aren't showing up. They showed up on the computers at work this morning, then disappeared, for some reason, replaced by the dreaded Red X's In a Box.

ahhh

nice pictures!! all nice but i love those two last close ups. i just got a new camera but still not sure how to use it to its best abilities...but i'm learning (and shopping for a macro lens) what camera and/or lens/setting were you using? but, again great shots!

EXCELLENT PICS!!! what kinda camera you using?

 

[pitbulllady]

It's a Nikon Coolpix S4, 6.0 megapixels. I took the pics on the Macro setting, with autoflash, with "Vivid Color" setting. It will let you get within as close as 1.6 inches from the subject; actually, it will let you closer than that, but there's a chance of the pic being blurred, and besides, few spiders are going to let a camera come closer than that, anyway, without at least running away. It's more complicated to use than my HP Photosmart, but the Macro feature is much better, too.
