New pictures

Norbert is beautiful, Gen! And the pictures are great!

Thank you!!! :D

He's a cutie. And a good yawn-shot is priceless!

Just curious... my pictures never seem to come out very well on my Nikon Coolpix 4500. If I try to get really close up, it comes out all blurry. If I take it from further back, the picture includes too much other stuff. However, the resolution is very high so perhaps I should just take pictures farther back and then only cut out part of it, so that I can still keep the resolution fairly high and have it focused on a small enough area. Does everyone edit their photos like this? Or do all your pictures just come out fine automatically? If so, are you using auto or manual focus?

Sorry to hijack the thread, I'd just like my pictures to come out half as nice as those ones ;P

hhw....that's part of the miracle of digital pictures! Take your pics and then crop out all the junk! LOL This works especially well with high rez cameras because you can take a picture from farther away, then crop out all the extra stuff and look like you took a much closer picture than you actually did.

My digital camera has a macro function for closeups that keeps them really clear. I forgot to turn it on for the yawning pic, that's why his head is kinda blury.

Well whatever you do gen, the pics are truly amazing, you could count his scales! (if you had the time, LOL!)

Why thank you!!
