Something completely different ... Discarded

Fantastic pictures, Guenter!

You're increasing my cobras faster than I do by breeding, LOL.

Those are really neat, Guenter. Can I ask what size lens you used for the first tarantula photo (if it's a trade secret, that is fine...just curious)? I'm thinking about getting a 50mm f/2.8 because I've heard that it is a steal for such a good lens, but I'm not sure how I would use it properly. Most of my photos are of reptiles, but I think I may use it more out in the field.

No secrets at all!

All my studio work (nearly all) is done with the 24-105/4 L IS USM from Canon ond a Canon 5D (full format).

In reptile zoos I use the Sigma 150/2.8 HSM Macro which is a great lens for that - or the Canon 70-200/2.8 L IS USM with extension tubes which is also great.

Hehe nice photos Guenter Wink

Can you tell me what Spiders you used? I would guess Avicularia sp. but I don´t know too many Very Happy

As I am into spiders: for sure some Avicularia spp.

Aaaah - I think it was a little bit "cold" in your studio... Twisted Evil

LOL @ the summit !!

Some very good pictures, Guenter!

I did like the above the most. A really good composition, and some good afterwork..

Second best, if you ask me, is the "Crest to the Summit"..

I'll post this to get opinions - critical ones are also welcome!
Cheers,

The "Crest to the Summit", have a good humouristic touch to it, wich I really like.

What program do you use to make the pictures? PS?

Yes, PS CS2. I've bought a license Shocked

But could also be done in gimp, I guess. I do not use so much special features, just layer masks as the main tool.

I´m also using CS2, but am no good at it. Trying to learn all I can about it as I go ahead, but it´s a big program.

These are a lot of fun Guenter!

From an artistic standpoint I still like the one that Miqe pointed out the best. This last one with the orange spiked hair is really neat, too, though. Besides the models being pretty hot, they seem like they are fun to work with, as well.

I'm still trying to figure out the "Crest to the Summit". It seems to me that the spider is post-summit and I can't figure out how that boob is defying gravity so well! Laughing

Is it odd for me to turn my head upside down while looking at a photo on the monitor? Wink

Thanks so much for sharing, I really like this thread Guenter!

And here I am.. Putting the computerscreen upside-down..

Ahhh, now I understand why it was so hot in the studio! Embarassed

Very nice!
