Some of Apophis' pics

[Apophis]

Are Cupiennius spp. not being kept in the hobby in the USA? :?
Over here you see them at almost every show...

But my camera isn't that impressive actually, it's just a €200 ($250?) Fuji finepix s5700, combined with a €35 Raynox DCR-250 macro converter.
I don't know what camera you're using, but that macro converter will probably also fit on your camera.

WARNING - sunglassed advised beyond this point!

You should have put a warning on that photo that we need some sort of sunglasses. That blue is STUNNING! :clap:

 

[Apophis]

Haha! I'll see if I can edit it in somewhere
Thanx for the comment!

 

[Taki F&T]

You've really nailed this one hey! Can't really show off E cyanognathus colours better than that

 

[Apophis]

Thanx Taki!

Some realy amazing shots!
What sort of light do you use?

Best regards Uros

 

[Apophis]

Thanx Uros!

I only use the camera's flash No additional lighting at all.
But when I use my macro converter, I need to shine a flashlight on the spider to make my camera focus properly.

Your emilia is beautiful.
I wish mine would grow a bit faster

 

[Apophis]

Thanx man!
I know what you mean. Mine is sloooow too. He's not even adult yet, but only molts about once a year... :wall:

Man, that's a beautiful photo:worship: :clap:

To bad I'm so allergic to these cause I would get another one in a heartbeat.

 

[Apophis]

Thanx Alain!

My reaction to U-hairs is getting worse too, so I stopped getting new world species. The ones I have already are staying in my collection for now, but if it gets even worse, I'll be getting rid of them too.
