Sheri's Practice Picture Thread

[Sheri]

A little trick Sheri, when I can't get my macro to focus on up close shots, I use a flashlight. A very easy way to have movable light wherever you want it.

BTW, you spelled practice wrong in your thread title. I know how much it bothers you.

Dammit! LOL

I will take that under consideration, though right now I think I am battling the whole steady hand thing and I can't see how holding another object will help me overcome that.

A good idea though!

Thanks Eddy.

And the cam is a Fuji FinePic E510.

My buddy has a very good and expensive Sony digital cam. It has an orange light for complete dark pics. The pics of my avic and N.chromatus were taken in complete dark!!!

 

[Sheri]

Ok, I am going to go back to the store and see if there is a model in the the same line that has a built in macro light.
And I think I need a tripod.

Yup! Found another time sinkhole, a hobby within a hobby within a hobby.

Something like a Nikon Coolpix 5200 (or whatever the latest version in the 5X00 range is) would be a good bet. They have an excellent macro mode and the required focus illuminator

And a female Homoeomma sp. "blue"....

Oooh. Cutest spider there is. Against better judgement another one is heading my way right now, from the same source.

A tripod is in all likelihood a good bet, especially when taking those non-flash pictures.

Not MY source though? Wow, wouldn't that be funny?

I was happy to see the blue come out. I have two younger ones in hopes I am growing up a male, which I think I am based sheerly off growth rates between the 2 slings.

the E510 is an excellent camera, BUT to use macro the flash doesn't really illuminate the subject that well, and using SuperMacro the flash is altogether useless. basically it 'misses' the subject.
take the photo's in a well lit area, the brighter the better, then you will find everything comes together.
the pics will be naturally brighter and the focus will be much crisper and cleaner

I doubt it Especially as you say slings...I wasn't aware this species had been successfully bred in the hobby as of yet?

Some more....

Guess

 

[Sheri]

Nhandu coloratovillosus, juvenile female...

 

[Sheri]

Pamphobeteus platyomma

 

[Sheri]

And the freshly molted 3"plus Cyriopagopus sp. blue


Feel free to sex it.

(Though this will merely be confirming suspicions.)

 

[Cirith Ungol]

It's definitely a male... or female...

But I'm curious about that bundle of legs you got a bit way up... what's that?? Is that the same T as the sex me T? Funny pic anyway!

 

[Sheri]

Some more... L. parahybana, mature female.

Bonnetina cyaneifemur, not sexed, sub-adult.

B. vagans, needing a molt.

 

[Apocalypstick]
