New camera, same old scorps :D

Hi guys, I bought me a new camera just after Christmas, a Canon EOS 450D
So i thought I could post some pictures i took with it
Feel free to comment on the pictures, both negative and positive feedback is nice

Androctonus mauritanicus:




Hadogenes paucidens:






None of the pictures have been edited and I used the standard lens which came with the camera!

same camera as me! its great! the pictures are really good. i want the Androctonus mauritanicus!

Awesome pictures there! Nice one, love them.

I like the "scorpion eye-level" aspect of the pictures.

Those are some great shots. I can only use my phone and that can't get in very close. Nice job.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it

Nice shots, good camera and great scorps!!

wicked shots... nice one

Beautiful pics. I have the same camera and cannot seem to get any decent pics. Advise?

Gorgeous scorps.

Well I'm no expert so I can't help you that much, but I can tell you what I did
I use the all manual function
ISO is at 100
The shutter speed is 1/40
WB is on auto
And when I took the pictures I didn't use the "pop-up" flash which is built in the camera.
I borrowed a flash that is pretty old from my dad and pointed it 45 degrees upwards to a black surface so the light was reflected down in to the enclosure and the scorpion

Hope this could help you

And yet again thanks for all the warm comments guys

lower aperture is better for close up.. all depends on ur lense tho. cant do much with a 3.6-5.5

did you try taking the lense cover off athlon??

Ouch

Ha ha Jordan. I got some decent pics last night. I think I was trying to get too fancy with a telephoto and a macro lens.

awsome scorps there! great pics!!
