Phidippus Only

[DR zuum]

Well thought id start a thread devoted only to identified Phidippus species.Here are a few of the types i breed these are new ones.Please feel free to post your Phidippus photos.I was helped a bit by Pronty and MrL and Conipto on photo techniques and settings as i am a novice at photography. I took what they said and applied it hopefully they arent too bad.

Beautiful spiders But shouldn't this be in the true spiders section?

Probably it should be i meant to put it there as its strictly for phids.My bad its late im tired,on Fentanyl patches,i was looking at some other salticidae (jumper) pics posted here in this thread forgot and just posted these while still in it.I cant delete it or move it so if a mod feels like moving it for me thanks id appreciate it.

Hi,

in general good photos, but they are too dark and the whitebalance is not correct. The moste have an violet gleam/fog.

Here one of the pics without this gleam and a bit resharped. (The EBV was made with a very simple program at work. - So the result CAN be better with good programs and more time. )

Thanks for the tips lay the program you used on me and the adjustments you made with it so i can play with it.Without giving me that info you leave me in the dark,as i said im a novice at photography so these were really my first attempts never claimed to be a professional.But as first attempts go i dont think they are too far below par.Just think one day i will have them so lifelike they will jump off the screen and build canopy webs on your monitor while tapdancing to the unholy beat of Dimmu Borgir.

Hi,

for the "fast" EBV i recommend AcDsee.

Hey,

phantastic pics, thanks for sharing!

Jumpers are to my opinion the hardest-to-shoot spiders ever! Unbelievable what a hard time they can give you to snap just one, single good-looking pic.

This said, i appreciate your work, even if it is your first attempt.

With my jumpers, i observed they´re a lot more layed back when they´re occupied with feeding. However, you´ll have to accept that your "little subjects" have always "their mouths full", if you decide to use this trick...

@ Timo:

Quite interesting results for just using the EWB of ACDSee

Greetings,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

i have here on work only AcDsee v3.1 - very old version but it works as viewer.
For proper EBV i use Corel X3 - quite better.

great pics reno! finally got that macro lens?? yea it was a pain to get the ones i took..i only posted the "best" ones. heh. hah yea i posted all those field pics in my pic thread in the t section..thought about it after the first lot were posted..then i figured why stop? hah


t. raab...i should probably know this..but what does EBV stand for? i have photoshop, does this feature go by the same name? or something else? i would guess image>adjust>? heh. thanks.

Hi,

sorry, EBV is a german shortcut for "electronic picture processing". The feature i used was just a correction of the whitebalance.

Wow... they're sooo beautiful!
I've always wanted some jumpers but haven't seen any for sale in the uk

 

[T.Raab]

Hi,

here is one more:

1. correction of white balance
2. resharp with unsharpmask
3. reducing the noise in the picture

Hi,

my first "fast" processing:

my second with better software:

 

[DR zuum]

I love these little guys. I caught one in my basement acouple of weeks ago and I've been taking care of it ever since. From my understanding its a Phidippus audax. Mostly black with some white stripes and an orange dot on its rump. Just like the one in this pic.

Another thing I like about these spiders is their vision, its seems to be very good. It will follow my finger if I move it side to side lol

yea, they have great vision...i believe its the best of the spider, if not arachnid, world. (big jumper eyes )
