Hi All,

I just wanted to post the most recent picture of one of our BABY males. He is topping out at 550 grams!

He is a GREAT bright orange, but it's so hard to capture with a camera. Does anyone have any tips?

I'm not that good in the photography department. I just turn it on and click. Just wanted to say I liked your dragon, and he looks nice. Some people before pics give the dragon a warm bath. I noticed that when I give them baths thier colors look really really vivid and lighter then normal. I haven't tried to photograph them like that though yet, but I do notice on the classifieds some people wet the dragons. Might want to try that. I get my best true to life colors in my kitchen for some reason, God knows why. But a face away from the window with it at my back. The bulb in the kitchen is a regular 75 watt bulb with a frosted glass fixture. I think it's just the right amount of light. Try different lighting.

that orange photographs best, indoors in indirect lighting, kinda like diffused light, not directly coming through the window but rather in a bright room, carrick gets his best photos under the skylight in our old house when the light was aiming away but the room was nice and bright..nice dragon by the way, very sweet face..here is an example just aim and shoot in that type of lighting

I have found inside pictures with simple room lighting works best. I also turn the flash off since it seems to wash out the colors.

Outside isn't always the best place to get a picture. My three will get extremely DARK when they are outside and you can barely see their colors. They are too busy soaking in all those UV rays to worry about staying pretty for the camera.
