Re: How to Herp Photography
I have a fujifilm--- I'm at work so I can't tell you the model number right off--- but it has a marco and super macro for those really close up shots and I love it!!! The only thing is that when using the super macro you have to have a really steady hand or the pic comes out blurred or you need a tripod. I bought mine off ebay for less than $200 and its the best by far I've had and I've owned quite a few. If you are interested in researching this camera pm me and when I get home I'll let you know what model number it is.

Re: How to Herp Photography
A decent camera with a good lens with great amount of light and a great subject. Practice a lot!

Re: Herp Photography
you dont nec. need a macro lens.
if you are using a point and shoot, give yourself some distance and use the zoom so the flash doesn't blow out the shot.

Re: Herp Photography
A little note to add about how to take the shot-notice the angles that the best pictures are taken at. Better pictures are usually closer to eye level with the animal rather than shot from above. You usually can't go wrong with taking a shot when their head is at a 45 degree angle from you (ex Dave763's python pic). Looking up composition helps...like knowing the "rule of thirds." Little things like that can help a lot. The more you learn about photography and the more you practice, the better your shots will be.

I have tried both ways and found that using the zoom method usually reduces the quality of the photo. The macro lens really allows you to get up close without sacrificing image quality. As for flash, I don't use the camera flash. Exterior lighting for me produces the best results.

Re: Herp Photography
My Equipment (ill have to post pics later):
Canon Rebel XSI + Stock Lens + 55 - 250mm Lens + 3-set Extention Tubes (to mimic a Macro lens).
A tripod and good lighting is a must as well. Tripod especially for me since I have unsteady hands.

Re: Herp Photography
You'd be amazed what a difference an SLR makes, even for someone like myself who has always enjoyed photography, but never taken the time to fully delve into it.
These were taken with my 8.3 MP Canon Rebel XT, stock lens, no special lighting. The photos were simply taken from normal distance, then zoomed in on a basic Mac picture editor, no fancy photoshopping or anything.
