Well, if my camera worked the way it’s supposed to (Cannon AE-1) I will have some awesome shots of each sling, along with my older tarantulas.
The flashlight that I was using to light the deli cups seemed to really annoy the little ones (which I expected) so I had to get as many photos as I could, VERY quickly.
Sadly, when I went to photograph my Madagascars, I discovered that my male was deceased-and he stank to high hell!! Like rotting meat. Odd for an insect…not sure if that is normal for this kind….
I did at least manage to get some decent macros of the deceased, and the living hisser. I am pretty bummed about this though….
Sid was clinging to the side of (her) tank, so I did get some good shots of the iridescent coloring on her legs, as well as a few macros of her fangs. Nata, on the other hand preferred to stay camera shy. She remained huddled in the back of her Dibs container-turned burrow. I did get some pics of her back there, just nothing exciting.
Hopefully I will have the roll developed this week. I am praying to the Canon 35mm gods that the camera worked.
We shall see……
