And I almost forgot LaBelle she is my most photogenic baby! Look at her posing on a lily flower.

What type of camera is everyone using? These pictures are so much better than mine! I had to edit each one to minimize blurriness from motion. Then, I tweaked the exposure and color saturation for LaBelle's and Antoinette's mug shots because some part of their body was blending in a little too much! Daisy's photo is the least tweaked of all but I whish I didn't have to tweak at all! My phone usually takes such good photos :crybaby:

The dark guy is definately a PP, they get deeper colored with age. Several members have had big guys that were almost black.
I haven't posted mine here, but I've used a combo of cameras over the years. My old old Sony Cybershot was my favorite and took amazing pics. I actually used it so much that the springs in the shutter wore out. Rolled the number counter 5 times! My Lumia 920 phone took incredible high def photos for the lasr four years. I'm actually wavering between keeping it around just as a camera now that I've upgraded. I like my new Samsung Galaxy S8, insta shutter so nothing is blurry, but I'm still learning how to use it and the pictures are decent but not as high res or bold as I'm used to.

Tuna's only a medium though, do you think he'll get even darker as he grows?

Age is a factor but diet has a role in color as well... Some crabs change color with each molt.

All these photos make me jealous, as my hermies will NOT sit still for a quick phone picture, let alone a clear, pretty photo with a camera!
