I so need a light tent!

Because Paxton flew home to The Nest today - and even in shed, he's a little hottie!!! It's the same old cliche - he looks so much hotter in person!

I have that one....


One problem with it tho...it is collapsable. When you receive it, it comes in a nifty circular form. To expand it, you simply unfold it once and then all of a sudden...things are unfolding everywhere...and fast! It is kind of like one of those instant inflatable rafts...sort of. So now...I don't know how to fold it up. I have twisted and contorted it a couple times, but I feel I am doing more harm than good.

Other than that...I am very happy with it. :)

Anything you can do to avoid having your flash hit your animals directly will help. You can bounce it off the ceiling, or use a light diffuser.

Nice! Even without the light tent. You'll have to post more pics after he sheds and you get a light tent. Or just some good after shed pics. LOL

Hot little boy you have there Robin!

He's awesome!

I said it in the old thread and I'll say it again, best lesser ever!

Now that is an absolutely beautiful lesser!!!!!!! Congrats Robin!!!!

ITs is a very hot/unique Lesser.You should get that Light tent and post some pic after the next shed.One can never have to much eyecandy!

So do i !!! I actually was going to ask people what they use on here to take pics in... I just made a DIY cardboard box one with the poster board and tissue paper on the sides and top.... It sucks. I guess its just me idk. I think it might just be the fact that I dont have good lights and the ones I had werent positioned well at all. Your pics came out way better then my light tent could have done....

He looks great Robin... Wait until he sheds and you see his color better....John produces some of the best Lessers 4sure :)
Congrats

That is a beautiful snake. Good god it makes me want one! :gj:

I bought one of those light tents from Ebay. With 3 flourescent bulbs, the equivalent of 120 incandescent watts each, they insisted I could take perfect pictures without a flash or additional lighting. I found this near impossible, no matter how large I opened my aperture and bumped up the ISO speed.

The biggest thing for me was a quality Canon 430 EX II speedlight with a diffuser so it didn't flash directly on the subject. I use this in conjunction with the light tent. This was enhanced by a wireless setup where I can mount the flash remotely, off to the side of the light tent or even on top with a boom. This consistency has been the biggest factor helping the quality of my pics, since now my flash doesn't move everytime my camera does.

Yeah, I don't have much choice in how my flash goes, unfortunately - it's not adjustable. :(

I believe that! Do you have any of John's animals? He needs to make a website (hint, hint), so I can see what else he produces! I know I'll be watching his lessers next year, so I can get a sweet female!

Kidding! It might be a long wait to wait for me to get a light tent, so I'll just have to post my normal kitchen floor pictures! LOL
