Photos on black

I haven't done many black back ground photos lately so I decided to try some today on a few different animals. Enjoy!

Awesome :gj:

What are you using for a background?

That 3rd photo down (Super Pastel YB???) is great!

Fantabulous! :)

Nice pics of some very awesome snakes.

very awesome anymore :D

Great shots of some beautiful snakes! What are you shooting with? Those look good enough to be in a book.

Wow! That's a GREAT pic. His/her pose is so cute.

What morph? I see someone guessed super pastel YB. My first thought was pastel YB, but it seems a little more orange and less yellow than I'd expect from a pastel YB.

great photos and yes I agree that third picture is awesome. They look so cute when they periscope like that.

AWESOME! I also want to know what you used as a background.

Wow, nice photos you have there! Beautiful snakes!

Thanks a lot everybody! To answer some questions:

The snake "standing up" doesn't have yellow belly in it- its just a pretty intense looking super pastel.


Also, the background from these photos was black velvet. I find it helpful to get velvet with the finest fibers possible and to rotate it to an angle where the velvet is absorbing all the light that hits it. This minimizes reflection off of the fibers and keeps everything very uniform and black.


Thanks again!

Gorgeous! Gorgeous snakes, gorgeous pictures, and I love that black background!!

Very nicely done. Number 3 is the winner for me too.

Thanks a lot! I'm shooting with a Canon t1i of 500D, whatever you want to call it and these were shot with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. I'm still totally new to both as I just got them Wednesday but, so far, I'm really liking them. The lens takes VERY sharp images for being inexpensive.

Awesome pics:)

No matter if the lens is inexpensive, you are definitely using its full capability! :O
