Hi folks! I know I've posted photos of Theraphosa species before. Yesterday I purchased a Tamaron 90 mm macro lens so I'm using it with my Nikon D3000 would like your opinion. The photos of them before was from my IPhone 6s. Any ways feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I think both look really good.

The big factor I find in my phone camera and my DSLR is light and size. In good natural light like you have here it is easy to get good photos with either one. In dimmer light my phone has to use a flash which can spook the tarantula and often remove the chance of a second shot on skittish Ts. My DSLR can often get the same shot without a flash and allow for multiple shots. The DSLR give better bokeh (edge blur) which makes the subject POP better against lots of busy backgrounds. Finally image size comes into play when you want to crop for a closeup. You DSLR will normally have a higher image resolution over the phone camera which will allow you to crop parts of it to get better closeups without losing so much resolution that the image looks grainy.

I like the second set better and as you use the DSLR lens you'll get better closeups.

These is them today recently molted.

Can you please stop posting pictures of cute little slings that will grow up to be absolute beasts... I only have so much space... And money.. ;-)

 

[Exoskeleton Invertebrates]

Absolutely will not stop! My trio have molted three times and will keep on posting photos of their growth when they molt. So get your wallet out and start spending some green my friends.

Theraphosa blondi

My Theraphosa species molted again a few weeks ago. Good day today for another photo shoot.

Theraphosa apophysis - Female

Theraphosa blondi - Immature Male

Theraphosa stirmi - Immature Male
Another bites the dust photos of "The Big Trio".

I notice the stirmi has the light ends on the front legs like apophysis. I thought this was an apophysis trait?

As slings/young juvies T. stirmi have the pale feet on the 4 front legs, T. apophysis has them on all legs, and blondi doesn't have them at all.

Thanks, made me go back and take a double take. Good to know.
