Trying out a new light tent!

Here are a few pictures of our snakes in a light tent I made. I do need to get some better lights and do away with the shadows. I'm trying, its a work in progress! What do you think?

This is "Marty", my sons Anerythristic corn.

This is "Thor", my male Mojave.

Thanks for looking!

THOSE PICS ARE PERFECT :snake:

Those are awesome pictures! I like the one done on the black background the best, but the are all beautiful snakes! ^_^

Very nice pics!!!! I am liking Rogue a lot!!!

Hm, I guess I should say, Rogue is my favorite snake out of the group, but I think the picture quality is the best with the black background on top of having an excelent subject :P

thor is awesome! great pics/snakes

Those are some awesome pics!!! Congrats on the new light tent :gj:

Really, really nice pics! very nice collection you have, my favorite is Thor. I need to build me one of those.

Wow, Rogue is gorgeous. I love her blushing. The rest are nice too. Good pics!

I just use photobucket's editor. It's not very good, but if you adjust the pictures just right (by hand) and color in the shadows you can make them look like that. If the pictures are brighter and have less shadow to start with you don't mess up the colors. I put the snakes on a white board with white poster board behind, edit with photobucket-all by hand, and they turn out like this

You don't have to spend a bunch of money on light tents and photo editors to have beautiful pictures :D Sorry to the OP, I don't want to high jack!!!

To the OP, Dave, if you can adjust your flash your pictures will be much easier to edit. On my camera you can set the intensity of the flash. It's nothing real fancy-a PowerShot SD790 IS Cannon. It's hard to figure out how to do it so you might have to real the manual. If your camera doesn't have that option you can do what I used to do :P I would stand on a chair and zoom in till the flash was bright enough, but didn't wash the picture out.

Thanks Stephanie for the tips, and the photos look good! I didn't use a flash on most, didn't want a glare like there is on Thor. I'm trying to get the truest colors and brightness without any editing other than sizing. But if I can't, I will try the Photobucket's editor. I just hate posting a picture of my snakes that aren't true or misleading. Not that it really matters, unless I'm trying to sell the snake. And I will check into controlling the flash intensity.

Thanks

It is hard I'll give you that! It took me a long time to figure out my camera in order to take the truest pictures I could. On my camera there is a function key and if I press that while in the "taking pictures" mode I change the flash to -1 1/3. It's in with the setting for how "fine" the pictures are. I don't know if that helps :oops:

I'm sorry! I forgot to say I like the pictures! I love the picture of your normal girl!

Hey Stephanie,
I was just in Photobucket's editing program and that is pretty sweet! I didn't know that was even there. I just used that site to host my pictures!
Thanks!

Those are some stellar shots! And that last one...she is definately posing! :P Man, I gotta learn how to make me a light tent!

Man, i'm being left out, i just take pic and post, gonna have to start looking into this.

It is pretty nice for a free program! It seems like a lot of people don't know about it. It's a lot better today than it was several years ago.

Thanks for the nice comments.
They are easy to make, I made the one in the sticky here in "BP Pictures". Instead of clamping all the pieces of fabric to the PVC, I had it sewn together.

And here is an even easier one (and cheaper) you can try! http://digital-photography-school.co...ive-light-tent

I LOVE the photos! The Mojos look great too, and nice job on the light tent!

Everything looks great, and the light tent really worked out well:D

Awesome pics...so clear and bright!! Id say the light tent is working for ya!!

Nice pair of mojos!
