    Mirror shots
    I picked up a small mirror and thought I would try out the mirror shots. This is my first try and I have a few ideas to try out later. I think it turns out much better when they hang their head over and you get the reflection of that too.

    I was going to do Victor but he is starting to dull up for a shed, so I will get him a couple of weeks.

    Yes it is, I laid a towel down and took a piece of glass and sat it on empty toilet paper rolls(only thing I could find at the time, lol).

    I did a thread 2 yrs ago...

    Great shots! I saw a post once were they used a mirror. To t:please:hey said they took them in the dark. I don't know much about cameras to figure that out lol.
    The reflections turned out really nice though.

    In the dark? That is interesting.

    Jinx great shots. But we need pictures of the super stripe also!
    Did you put the inside your light box or just put it on a table with lights?

    She is in shed. I put the mirror in the light box, but I did not use the lights, just the room lighting.

    Those are really cool shots. :gj:

    Andrew and Sarah Gilpin came to speak at a herp society meeting in Wisconsin back in April and they got some really cool pictures using a similar method. They take pieces of glass and spray paint the other side which pretty much is a mirror but you can get different colors under the snakes.
