January 2011 Photo & Caption Comments Thread

A little secret I do (I guess it's no secret anymore) lighting is everything, I sometimes hold a maglight (flashlight or torch as they are called in Europe) shining it on the snake, the auto focus on my camera works better.

Some of my cages have the basking light hanging from a ceiling hook "swag style" so I leave the light on.

Shadows are your enemy when taking pictures with an auto-focus camera.

I know, I am getting better at it creating the right conditions and using the right settings. I actually have several focus options, and have had better luck at close-ups by using one of the manual settings. All that being equal, you're left with getting the timing right for that perfect shot.

I gotta question, the picture with comments contest, does that have to be a thought, or can it be like something said by a second person who's not in the picture?

It's a "caption" contest. I don't think it has to be a thought only.
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.
