she's pretty and thats an impressive shot - you sure these things don't like posing?
Lots of people buying orchid flowers at local garden centre as xmas presents - they should come with a warning that all the flowers will fall off within days and never show again if you dont have a proper greenhouse and the expertise for them!

Notice here red eyes?This only happens when its been hunting in the dark for few hours..Other wise its pure white which isnt as cool as taken shots of her with red eyes..I put her in a dark place for 4 hours then take her out to take some shots..I only have about 20mins tops untill the eyes go back from red to white.






heres what i mean

i like how the claws are fat on this species. the red stoned eyes are funny too. wonder how it helps them see in the dark? gotta go with the second pic with the red eyes.

Is the red eye reduction done in camera or PP?
