weird... almost al of your poecilotheria pics have a kinda blue hue to them..
is it because of your camera or is it photoshoped?

nice collection btw

 

[priZZ]

...is it because of your camera or is it photoshoped?

Photoshop: yep. But this is not why they look a little bit purple. That is why they really look so, and on the other hand I use for photoshooting a blue lamp.

Hm... let me think... oh! Got it! Last month I dropped her in a blue color canister!

 

[Zibi]

Really? My question is serious 'couse I didn't saw so blue P.ornata before.

I hope this will answer Your question as well.

 

[Washout]

What camera+lens combo are you using to shoot these pictures? The macro and clarity is excellent. Or do you take care of that in post-production in photoshop?

 

[priZZ]

Hi Washout,

I have a Ricoh Caplio RR30, it is no prof digicam, it just have 3,2 MP, 3x optical, and 10x digital zoom. But it has 1 cm macro.

I also use during the fotoshooting the Arcadia D3 Compact Lamp, which has a very effective, strong light.

An after taking pix (in 2048x1536), I resize them, use a little Auto Color, Auto Levels, and Auto Contrast in Photoshop.

No, they are rare, and also costly. Slings are about 30 Euro, my semi/subadult female was 95 Euro.
