I don't consider myself even a mediocre photo bug. In fact, I struggle quite a bit. Some things have helped my photos - First, I shoot on a light absorbent material, to reduce reflection of the light (I'm currently using velvet). Second, the first picture looks like you need to move the light outside of the tent more towards the front (the one on the right side). There seems to be shadow on the right side. The second pic looks too dark and the third seems to have too much reflection on the background.
Hope that helps, it's all I got!

I think you need more light. I have one of these little light tent setups and I can never get enough light with the lights provided. Try taking the tent out in some sunlight and see if your result is better. Or you could try getting a few more "daylight" lamps.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Could you maybe give me a good idea of how many watts I need to make these clean photos?
I think the kit is 200 watt. There is 2 lamps so each lamp is 100w.

i'm still learning a lot too, and i know this won't be of much help with your indoor shots in your light tent. the light tent i got didn't have very good lights and the pictures don't turn out that great either, so until i get some better lights, i've found some of the best looking pictures i've taken that represent the snakes colors the best are outside on a cloudy day. not sunny, but overcast. in the bright sunlight they don't look right. (not even sure you're asking specifically about snake pictures. lol)
i found this thread useful:

i kinda took the same idea, except i haven't been by the store to get the foam board, so i just laid a white sheet over a table. you can still see the wrinkles, but that won't be an issue if you get the foam board.

Here is on of my favorite photos when I got the right camera, with a tent and bright lights on velvet. All of this talk of more lights reminds me of the SNL skit more COWBELLS!

Dang this looks good to Don. I just took pics of my Killer Bee and my BEL and my lightning looked awesome. I got it set up real nice now I have a problem with the Nikon p520 now. It doesn't focus close up being a non detachable and all that.
It's 42x zoom and it was bought for recording the kids for memories and zooming in on a animals at zoos and stuff. I think I'm going to turn this camera over to my wife. Go out and get me one with a detachable lens and invest in a good micro lens.
What's a good micro lens that every one uses to capture there balls the mm size ect.
Still looking for some tips of how much lightning I should have shining on the box. I will upload my snake pics when I get home tomorrow.

Brian, no interchangeable lenses. I talked to several photographers i know and a few of the recommended the Sony RX100. I don't want to spend a lot of time learning lenses and settings and with ths amera, I don't have to. I highly recommend it. It is pricey, but very easy to use and takes great shots.
