Pics of Hog Islands....lol

This is our new pair of Hog Islands, we are excited to be working with island boas, and Dwarf boas...I will post more pics of our new Cay Caulkers and Sonorans and Hogs as they settle in... hope you enjoy the pics...not the best, I keep saying "I need a new camera" and when the time comes to buy a new camera there always seems to be another Boa to buy...lol :

try better lighting, that yellowish/greenish cast you are getting is from your lights. the cheapest cameras can take awesome pics if you understand lighting, i use a uvb spotbulb (i think it is an ESU 150 watt uvb spot bulb) to give "truer to life" pics indoors. outdoor pics are the best i think but not in "full sun" which will wash out the subject. pick an overcast day or a shady area. a camera captures lite bounced off a subject, the best camera will stil take lousy pics if you have bad lighting. hope this helps, john yocum

Beautiful Hogs...and great pics..I am still learning, The thing with my Digital Camera, I can set up the lighting, Go "Click" "Click" "Click" and not move a thing, and then when I get to my computer to download the pics, I will get 3 different pics, its like I changed lighting between pics, when I didn't do anything but snap 3 pics in a row....I think its a combination of Worn out old camera, and bad lighting, and learning photographer....lol

But soon this summer I will get a new camera, and keep practicing on the lighting, and soon I will get there, thanks for the advice and beautiful Hog Islands...
