Black or White?

I have always shot on white melamine, but recently shot some on black, and was wondering what YOU personally liked to see....black or white backdrop.

Black!

What morph is that dude?

For these particular pictures, I don't think it's a fair comparison since the white is perfect, clean white, whereas I can see the fibers on the black cloth ...

So basically, I like the white better, but I'd also like to see some shots on black melamine or plastic or some other non-textured surface.

Pretty pretty snake, though!

I had thought of that, especially being so close up, the fibers may take away from the subject.

I may have to hunt down a piece of black melamine.

Hes a Pinstripe

I was guessing that but he is so extreme I thought he might have something else going on too. I really love how yellow he is. My pin is reduced like that too, but more toward brown overall. :D

I usually like white a lot better. It's cleaner and it's usually a better background to show off colors.

Poss het Albino is that helps :rolleyes:

I think it depends on the snake.The more contrast the better. Ex;Shoot a lucy on black or 8-ball on white. I think it makes a hell of a diffrence

dark snake: white
light snake: black

He looks great pat, but really stands out on the black :gj:
