I'd love to! I got two in September that are really cool and haven't had a formal introduction yet! I need to get a light tent or something sorted out though. My house has absolutely terrible lighting and I can't rely on natural light now that it's winter. I'm so deprived of photo shoots :(

I know right? I hate not being able to go outside for photo shoots.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to paint basically my entire house dark purple, maroon, or lime green. It makes taking pictures impossibe

For the past couple months I've tried to find a place that tells me the themes for the month, but have never managed to find it? At least not in the first 2 weeks of the month. I've tried to enter several times over the years, and have only successfully entered one photo, so I dunno.

Isn't your house just a giant light tent then? With a consistent dark background. Use that to your advantage, create awesomeness!! I know you can do it! Believe in my dreams.

It's always mentioned on the thread announcing the most recent contest winners....it's listed under the POTM winning picture on the BP.net homepage....and there's a thread stickied in the Site Info forum that is always updated with the current POTM theme: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Monthly-Theme

Make sure there's something white in the photo and you can use it to either fix your white balance either while shooting (depending on the camera) or afterward while processing.

I guess I'll post my picture here then since it didn't go through again ._.
