taking pics????
last week i purchased a Canon Powershot S3 IS. It has 12 op zoom, 6 mp, macro and super macro, and i bought a 2 gig high speed SD card for it. i have had some time to frig around with it and have taken a few good shots of my snakes. however, i always see great looking pictires on this site and was wondering what tips u guys/gals could give a newbie. for example, what type of lighting is best, anything to help me on my way. here is one of my favorites of my anery corn i purchased a few weeks ago.
thanks, nate

Re: taking pics????
LOL...well, I would have offered advice on that if I had it. My "good" pictures are due to sheer luck.
But I saw the "broken" pic in the post and thought I'd throw those links out there.

Re: taking pics????
Digital camera's nowadays are pretty error proof. Set it to auto-focus and shoot away...Background I guess depends on the color of the snake. Can't go wrong with white or black for most. Leather furniture is always good. Hardwood floors are always good too...Best advise would be to play around with it and take lots of pics. Photoshop also helps to crop, resize and do other little things...I also wouldn't worry about additional lighting, just use the flash and normal room lighting...
This one was taken on top of a black rack...throws a cool diffused reflection under the snake...
This one was taken on a leather sofa...
This was taken on my deck...

I'm guessing that when you view this thread, you can see the pic you attempted to post. I can't, and apparently JLC can't either. My guess is the pic you are seeing is being pulled from your computer, which we can't access.

Re: taking pics????
Hey Nate,
I can see your pic, it's not bad... and playing around in photoshop (shadow/highlight in particular) will make it much better.
Sho220 makes some excellent points about composition and practise as well. If you have a manual focus option that is easy to use, I'd suggest going with that. You'll be better able to capture quick tongue flicks, and get the part of the snake you want in crystal clear focus. Takes more practise, but you'll be happier and more confident with your results.
Can't wait to see your results. That's a sweet optical zoom.
P.S. ditto on the great pics Sho
