Epic sling-shots mate, I love that green sheen on the abdomens of Psalmo-slings. Love that pic with the fangs too! Again, the originals are pretty amazing. such good detail...!
Thanks so much for all the compliments Matt! I pretty often have a chance to get grooming and fang shots like that (though I have to use burst mode to catch them!), the slings almost always head down to the moat for a drink and then clean themselves.Epic sling-shots mate, I love that green sheen on the abdomens of Psalmo-slings.

Thanks crawltech! Actually not so hard when I take 500 shots just to get about ten good ones. HA! Doesn't take much camera shake to end up way off focus.lovin eye cluster detail these days!...its hard to capture!
Oops, how embarrassing! ::Nice P. cambridgei shots Michael! The fangs shots are crazy! Now that you have a little more time with the A. purpurea, get some shots!
p.s. The P. cams are 3i.
Thanks a lot Chad! Those slings were all great fun! (I like that photo a lot too )Came through once again with great shots! The eye cluster(4th pic) is my favorite! Good job!
Thank you Storm, very nice to hear!Your pics are so freaking AWESOME, man! LOVE them...so much detail...great macro shots!!
Thanks again Chad! Yeah, those are really cool ... just about every T seems to have them, wonder why?Nice shot! I love the "tuffs" of setae they have at their eye clusters.
Thanks a lot Matt! I was really surprised by all that color. (That's my favorite one too. )Super P. irminia photos man, wow! All amazing images but that second one stands out as my pick of the lot. I like how you've captured the iridescent green colour, stunning spiders :clap:
Downloaded my Pokie wallpaper earlier Michael, looks great.
LOL Thanks so much Storm! Really nice to hear ... err, not hear.Oh my gosh! *gasps* I love P. irminia and those shots are...*epic error, user out of words to describe*
For all the pictures, one word "Awesome"I've wanted one for a long, long time, a truly white adult female H. mac. I'd never actually seen one in person, and I know as well as anyone how difficult it is for photos to tell the truth, so I was ecstatic to see her when she arrived yesterday looking exactly as I'd imagined!
What a an elegant stunner ... and so far I'd have to say that she's as docile as any T that I have.

Thank you very much fatich!!For all the pictures, one word "Awesome"
Especially i liked these shots!
I use a Nikon D7000, which seems like pure magic to me. It doesn't show up so much in these reduced, or even the 1920px images, but the sharpness, depth and realism at larger resolutions are quite striking ... I'm far from being able to use this camera to anywhere near its potential, but I'm learning! I've also been experimenting with lighting quite a bit lately, with some real breakthroughs. A good diffuser is essential ... was a real revelation to me the first time I tried diffuse lighting. And lately I've found what a dramatic effect can be created by backlighting. I use a Yongnuo 560 speedlight, very affordable and I really am happy with it. For diffusion I use various sizes from LumiQuest.Tbh - I'd like to know what equipment you use and how you do those awesome shots anyways?
