It\u2019s perfect for those who want a <strong>clean layout<\/strong> without any distractions, focusing solely on the scorpions sorted by their size and color.\u00a0This project was a cooperation with the renowned\u00a0German scorpion breeder Mark Stockmann from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buthidae.eu\">Skorpionzucht Stockmann<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Size: The poster contains almost <strong>140 scorpions<\/strong> from 34 different genera.<\/li>\n<li>Resolution: <strong>Every single image<\/strong> contains <strong>up to 40 megapixels<\/strong> on its own, almost twice as much as regular DSLR deliver.<\/li>\n<li>Color accuracy: All scorpion images were photographed in one single session and edited later in the same way on calibrated devices for the <strong>most accurate color representation<\/strong> possible.<\/li>\n<li>Quality: All images are edited after industry standard with the latest professional hard- and software like Photoshop CC 2018. A technique called \u201e<strong>focus stacking<\/strong>\u201c was used to combine many individual RAW images with different focus areas into one completely sharp image.<\/li>\n<li>Scale: For the first time, all the scorpions are presented at their true scale, allowing you to <strong>easily see<\/strong> the wide variety of <strong>differently sized scorpions<\/strong>, from the smallest <em>Picobuthus wahibaensis<\/em> to the larger <em>Parabuthus <\/em>spp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>From behind the scenes: The layout<\/h4>\n<p>Creating a great-looking layout takes a lot of time, especially with this many images. There are over 1,74*10^41 different ways to sort the images alone! I experimented with different layout approaches\u00a0to\u00a0find one that can fit 135-142 images and present them all in an organized way, with all scorpions sorted by color and size. Therefore, I experimented with different aspect ratios, designs with and without texts, w\/without background images, and foremost with different shapes: from an ordered straight-lined design to circular one and a 45\u00b0 square orientated one.\u00a0All in all, around 10 hours were spent just to work out and refine the different layout approaches.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6449\" src=\"https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS-1024x787.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS-72x55.jpg 72w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Scorpions-II-BTS-600x461.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arachnogear.com\/shop\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5955 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-300x78.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-768x199.png 768w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-1024x265.png 1024w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-212x55.png 212w, https:\/\/mygale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Zeichenfl\u00e4che-1-600x155.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Available on ArachnoGear.com<\/h5>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scorpions II This new scorpion poster features even more images, and for the first time, all scorpions are represented at their actual size!
