I have been looking for some info for you. And depending on size -

The snake should sit still long enough to get a good 5-10 shots off

Another thing about the glass. Is your local fabric shop get the color back drop. Get a piece of glass that is big enough and put the snake on the glass and shoot from there.. .This is all from what I learned a while ago for photography shoots. Just trying to give you a bit of advice. I could be way off though.

A fast camera and cooperative snake.

Seriously though, I take alot of pictures. Only half of which make it here. Sometime I get a snake out, and they just arent cooperating, and I give up until another night. Or try another snake.

This is the problem we've run into. Using a D90.

I wish I knew the manuel stuff on my camera, so I could help. I'm still using auto. :confused:

I may try and see what happens when we switch to auto haha.

Smaller aperture, much more light

Question, anyone know if the camera flash hurts their eyes?
