Hey guys!

So I attempted to take pictures using an slr camera by myself. I have never used one before, but I think they came out pretty good....any pointers will be greatly appreciated! Here's my girl!

She looks great! Not bad for one handed shooting.

Thanks! She is sooo adventurous when shes out of the cage that she won't sit still for 2 seconds haha. She won't hang out unless Im holding her then she just chills.

Cleopatra is a beautiful girl. i love her yellow flames, blushing and head stamp.

also your first attempt with an SLR is better than any of my pix. your focus is on point and on the subject. just need a lil better lighting to make good pix great.

Ax do i take the picture with the camera facing the light or with the light behind the camera?

What I suggest is that you get a table and a white cloth to put On top. And place the snake where the light shines through the most. But make sure to set the white balance and lighting on it so that the camera knows the capacity you have. After you do that take picture at your leisure

^ what she said.

i think a white background and lighting will really make Cleo's colors pop much more. i'm not a good photographer myself, but plan on getter a better camera and a light box to play around with. this light box and photo editing stickie is helpful - http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ght-tent-(DUW)
