Purple On and Off White

Ok so I keep a monthly shed picture record of my Purple Albino. Just wanted to show the difference of the snake, on and off of white. It is actually quite drastic and makes you wonder how much the background changes the photos that you see, in any given situation online.

ON WHITE

OFF WHITE

Remember folks, no Photoshop ctrl+U saturation was used!

Photoshop or not that snake has been killer since day one. The purple is outrageous!!

Thats one HOT snake no matter how you look at it :D:D:D

that snake is gorgeous

The background is only going to make a difference because of the camera mode.
If you light the subject correctly and the same in both settings and set the white balance, you can get the same results.
That said, I COMPLETELY understand your point in how to perceive photo in ads. You are right on. Most people use a point and shoot on auto and the photos will vary dramatically.
Also, there is a big difference from monitor to monitor that most poeple don't realize.
Great snake.
(nice photos too.)

I use a Kodak V-550. It has a special feature for flowers, and thats what I use for all my shots, even far away distance shots, no joke.

Very true. We all have the same DELL LCD monitors where I work, but I color correct mine with a colorimeter, so the same thing always looks truer and better on my monitor. =)

patty, loverly snake. :)

Ditto that! excellent explanation. Your camera is in flower mode Pat, which for many cameras means a large aperture. Your white balance "should" still be in auto, and the camera is still automatically changing the aperture and f stop respectively. So yes, it would still look different with two different backgrounds and lighting.

Whatever the background that snake has crazy color!

Very hot Pat:gj:

Pat, you have violated the law because you are not allowed to have a purple snake in your state.
I insist you ship it over to me immediately.
:D

I wanna know it's name!

Pat, that is one gorgeous snake!!

Well if that's bothering you terribly much Pat dear you can always ship him to me so you won't have to live with that awful feeling anymore. :D

Wow Pat! It is amazing the difference the background makes in showing "true colors". That is one super sweet snake! I have a friend that breeds lavender retics. Does the purple fade to lavender when he's big? My firnds snakes looked all colored out.....

what an absolute beauty Patrick!!!!

It fades a bit, from what I can tell in pictures, but doesnt almost everything. I havent noticed a fade in the purple, I HAVE notice a fade from orange to yellow.
