Requests for Photographs pt. 2

Syngyne · Jul 20, 2007

Hello all,

I need a bit of help for a school project. In my Flash 3 class, I am finishing a website for a fictional company that sells tarantulas, and as such I need pictures of tarantulas. Amanda, Novak, and Snipes were kind enough to let me use their photographs for the project, but I still need more. They're not going to be used for anything other than populating the site with pictures so I don't have a lot of blank boxes. The site itself is not going to actually sell anything, it's just going in my portfolio to show potential employers what I can do. You will be fully credited for your photos, of course.

I am specifically needing multiple photos of the following species:

Aphonopelma anax
Aphonopelma chalcodes
Aphonopelma hentzi
Aphonopelma seemani

Avicularia avicularia
Avicularia juruensis
Avicularia metallica
Avicularia purpurea
Avicularia versicolor

Brachypelma albopilosum
Brachypelma boehmei
Brachypelma emilia
Brachypelma smithi
Brachypelma vagans

Grammostola aureostriata
Grammostola iheringi
Grammostola pulchra
Grammostola rosea

Also, pictures of both terrestrial and arboreal setups would also be of great help.

If you're curious about the site, the following link has a semi-functional nav model. Most of the content is placeholder, and it's a bit glitchy in places (I'm rebuilding it to tidy up the code and hopefully get rid of the errors). Also, the ladybugs are not going to stay. The window needs a background, but those are just a bit too precious.

I really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Thanks!

Are you wanting pics of mature specimens? I can help you out with pics of 6 you have listed, but they are all slings under 2". Also, I have several pics of arboreal/terrestrial setups on my home page towards the bottom. Just click the link to my Tarantula Vault in my sig. Your more than welcome to use any photos from there...just let me know, I can even tag em first if you want.

I need pictures of juvies or adults, preferably. The setup pictures will help a lot, though. Thanks.

Ugh.. I can give you some decent rosea pics... Enjoy...

You're welcome to use which ever you like... and stuff. Just pick out what you need. =D

Micah;

Thanks for all the pics.

Also, guys, please PM me with your full names so I can credit you properly on any photos I use.

Thank you all, this is helping immensely.

I still need some pictures of Avicularia juvies and adults, if anyone has any they don't mind letting me use.

Again, if you want your full name in the photo credit, please PM me your name. Otherwise, the credit will be <username> from Arachnoboards.com.

I don't have the pics your looking for, but I checked out your project website. It looks fantastic!

This is actually a juvenile Grammostola aureostriata, but it's a decent simple setup picture (although the water dish is missing in this photo). The cup is a standard plastic drinking cup. It's a breeder KK.

A couple shots of my adult female G. pulchara before she passed. Unfortunately, the original photos without the copyright info slapped on them is on a hard drive that is not accessible at the moment, and I don't really have the space to install the software to redo the copyright info so it's not quite so glaring.

Just thought I'd update everyone on how the site's going. The current build is here.

Do not go to any main section other than Home, Tarantula Info, or Store Policies. The other sections haven't been rebuilt yet, and if you try going to them, you'll have to reload the page to get navigation back.

The site intro music will keep playing even if you skip it. I haven't set up a sound object properly yet, the music is just sitting on the timeline.

The photos in the site intro haven't had credits attached to them yet, except for Novak's, because his was pre-credited.

I'm trying to work out how to credit them since they don't stay up for very long. I may just put a stamp similar to Novak's on the rest, if that would be okay.

Please let me know if any of the photos I've used so far are improperly credited, and I'll correct them.

Also, a lot of the information may be not entirely accurate, I was a bit rushed to get this update published. When I'm tweaking the site for portfolio (in a quarter or two) I'll go back and correct info that is glaringly wrong.

Also, for the curious, you can hear what I sound like in the video in the Tarantula Info section. You can also here me almost start laughing at one point. I mean, really. Opisthosoma? It's like they didn't want anyone to be able to pronounce that word.
