Partial Collection Photoshoot

Started fooling around with the manual settings on my camera and tinkered around a bit in Photoshop to clean up the backgrounds. I still have A LOT to learn. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy the pics anyway. :D Let me know what you think, and feel free to share some constructive criticism!

Don't tell him he's such a great model, he'll run off to the big city on me! ;)

Some stunning snakes! Thank you for sharing.

You have absolutely stunning models! And quite a successful photo shoot too!

His personality is just as sweet as his morph!

I think my settings were: shutter speed 1/20, aperture F-10, ISO 200. I was playing around with different settings throughout the shoot and it never occurred to me to write them down. I'm kicking myself for that now! I set up a light tent and basically had to balance the three settings because the faster the shutter speed was, the image was clearer but also a lot darker. My light tent is way bigger than I'd ever need for BPs, and my lights are small and pretty weak, so it was like throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what stuck. If you have better lighting, make the shutter speed as fast as you can while still getting a bright enough picture. This guide helped me a lot.

As far as snake wrangling goes, I have a super pastel that isn't pictured because he is always on the move. He won't even give me the courtesy of sitting still for a second to get his bearings when I put him down. One trick I learned was putting a hide in the tent and letting them curl up in there. While they're settling, you can turn your camera on and set it up how you want it, then just lift the hide off and snap away. They usually retain their curled up shape for a few seconds, which helps.

you got some awesome snakes in your collection

Here are a couple more that I had trouble adding to the album the first time around. I added in an older picture of my female fire, who wasn't part of the shoot because I recently moved her to a larger tub and wanted to let her settle in. The others that didn't make the shoot were Trouser, my normal female who is putting weight back on after laying, and my super pastel male who can't sit still to save his life.

In the remote chance that someone would like to use one of these as a background, PM me and I'll link you to a high resolution version.

Brb, just casually drooling over your collection.

Thanks! I was really into the lighter, "goldblush" looking mojaves for a while (he is not a goldblush though), and now that I have him all I want is a dark one lol. There are actually some mojaves in the incubator that should be hatching this week from him and a dark normal, so if I'm lucky I'll find a darker female to hold back.

She actually came to us with that name, but because she has such a... colorful past I just couldn't change it. My boyfriend got a big kick out of it when we got her!

Finally dug out the light tent to take some more photos, including some new additions to the collection! There's only one missing, now - a pastel ivory girl who is in shed.

Thank you! I plan on pairing the candy to my older 66% het albino pied first, and hopefully shoot for super pixel pieds once the pixel girl is grown, but I'm sure I'll change my mind a dozen times by then. It'll be after the candy pied project that I'll work on panda pieds, and by then they'll be everywhere I'm sure haha. But yes, eventually having candy pixel pieds would be awesome!
