Pics from Brad Boas's today...

I went out to Brad's today and took some pics of his Ultramel and a few other snakes. There must be something in the water over there because he has some of the most hyper ball pythons I've ever seen!

Thanks to Mr. Boa for letting me harass his snakes.

Thanks for looking!

Why must I be jealous of how great your camera takes pics?? Lol. Great pics, and nice lookin' snakes! Btw, what kind of camera do you have and how much did you get it for? I'm REALLY looking into getting a nice cam where it can takes close ups very well without a blur and record long vids.. My camera only takes 31 second vids that take up my camera's memory :[

Beautiful pics Aaron. I really like that ultramel!

I'm sure it's more than just the camera, although the camera does have a lot to do with it, it's light tent, and also the skill and know how of how to use both well. I'd hazard a guess that he has a professional grade camera. ;)

Beautiful pictures as always, Aaron! Beautiful animals, Brad!

I can't take nice photos either, but I'm jealous of the subjects! :D

Aaron, thanks again you rock!!:bow:

Aaron got skillzz. :)

Awsome pics Aaron!!! You DEFINATELY had some beautiful models for that photo shoot :gj:

Hey, He's up near Cannon Falls isn't he? Sweet looking balls by the way!!

Beautiful pictures and snakes!

Rocking pics, Aaron and Brad. :) :gj:

Great pics of great snakes.

Fantastic pics!! Any info on how you're taking those pics? Lighting, backdrop, camera settings, lens, etc?

Great pics! The eyes of the Lucy look insane!

Thanks everyone! To answers the questions regarding my camera and setup:

The camera is a Canon 500D and the lenses are a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 zoom.

I'm shooting on a white poster board with a Speedlite 580exII bounced off of another white poster board that we taped to Brad's ceiling. After that, its just tweaking a few settings on the camera to get the exposures right.

One of these days I would like to get a proper set-up with a light tent and studio lights but for now I'm working with what I've been able to afford! lol

As far as camera settings go. They are not static throughout these images. I'm shooting on manual and changing my aperture and iso based on distance from the animal, etc...

That's pretty much everything- if there are any other questions, let me know!

Aaron

Great Pics & beautiful Collection !

Thanks for the info!! I have that same Tamron Lens but for a Nikon mount. I really like it. I've tried making ghetto light boxes, but they never seem to work out as well as I want. I may futz around with your method of bouncing off the ceiling.

No problem! I definitely recommend it- works especially well if you have a low-ish, bright white ceiling to work with. Good luck!

Wow! Amazing photos! That first one has to be one of the most adorable things I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing.

what is that first ball?

Brad has some awesome animals
