Scorpionchaos's Picture Thread

Hey everyone!

Photography is something I truly enjoy (wether I'm good or not is up to you ) And my tarantulas are another thing I truly enjoy so I mash them together know and again and love to share images in general:biggrin:
All photos unless said other wise are taking with my sony a33 and are My picture of My pets. I wiil say what lense I use for every pictures.
Lets get started!
My B.vagans back when he was just a little squishey!





and now the Great squishy after a mere 8 months! Not so little any more (pushing 2 inches) but just as cute!


All of the above shots were with my super macro lens

A lot of better pictures are coming! hopefully in the next few days I can sit down and be shutter bug but for enjoy the kind of blurry photo of S.cingulata Black from munching on a cricket!

I'm glad everybody is enjoying my photos...:cry:

As promised!
B.vagans: SQUISHY!!!!



My B.smithi sling rocking that brachypelma booty!


The flash from the camera made my B.albiceps "glow" a little but I could't get the angle to make it go away. He suffers from big booty as well:biggrin:


S.cingulata black form: Scold is a beast!



My A.versicolor sling Blue is tricky to get a good shot of so this will have to do!

His set up, It's bigger than it looks.


LP #1 the big guy (eating more consistently, 1 molt bigger than his sibling.



LP #2 is gonna explode soon...



My Hapalopus sp columbia large sling named "Pumpkin" because I'm creative:giggle:


My H.incei #1 uncooperative...


H.incei #2 more cooperative but still hard to get a good shot it does capture the green nicely though.

More to come soon! (hopefully better quality...)

Great pictures. You have a nice wee collection there.

Great shots! Keep em coming!

Thanks guys, your wish is my command! :love: lol

Well my wisdom teeth got yanked out and the painkillers I'm on are pretty strong (Making photography difficult because I have habit of clenching my jaw while shooting...) But time is time and that means time for pictures!

H.incei #1 has made a levitating ball of dirt that he lives in with no windows so he challenges me... Luckily a baby mealworm from my colony made hi a little more cooperative than last time!


H.incei #2 showed of some fangs!


B. smith and B.albiceps look exactly the same right now so i just took a pic of the B.albiceps who has been in premolt for 3 days... testing my pateince...


C.marshalli (kind of)


The larger LP chowing down and letting me get close!


A.versicolor still as hard a subject as can be. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to take a picture of half inch bouncing ball!





Scold! The Scolopendra cingulata! (I mean tarantula)



He thinks I cant see him:sarcasm:


Pumpkin enjoying his trick or treating (Hapalopus sp Columbia large)


Now last night at 1 AM (insomniac) I checked in on everybody hoping to see a molted B.albecips or B.smithi mad but was surprised to see my silly pet hole (Ephebopus murinus) on its back! I though it was molting and pickied up the container but it twitched. Not a molting twitch more like a you covered a lot of ground twitch... I saw the opportunity, a once in long time chance to get some decent pictures of the sling! Aware of his speed from unpacking a while back and his readiness demonstrated by the twitch/leap I took the lid off so gently if felt like I was using a feather to do it. With the lid separated from the cup completely (with the tarantula on it) I pulled out a larger tupperware bin and gently placed him in side. These are the best of the 70 pictures I took :biggrin:




Showing the green sheen these guys have on their abdomens as youngsters



Enjoy and let me know what you think! Ps: I was struggling to get the carapace and the legs in focus at the same time, I know its an aperture related problem but no matter how low or high I made it the focus area stayed the same. Advice much appreciated!

Very nice Pics! I really enjoyed looking at them! Keep um coming!

Apologies for a lack of pictures, sometimes life makes you put down the camera for a while But I'm back and I'm full of photos!


My B.vagans has molted twice since my last post and I caught her in the act of the second one!






Its a girl!!!


Next is a pic I really like of my H.incei


My H.sp large came out of hiding for the first time in a few months and went all shutter bug on him


"tarantulas" Scold


And my young S.alternans


Another big molt was my E.murinus and boy did they yellows really come out!




Enjoy and let me know what you think!
