Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I got my new Panasonic DMC FZ7 and spent a few days playing with it and reading the operators manual. Here's my first few attempts with herps.

Some 2006 thayeri. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Any comments from you photog buffs?

Well, although your older pics were by no means bad, there is a definite improvement! I seriously will read my manual this weekend...or maybe next!

I like that second pic, real nice pose and focus. Also very attractive snake, I really like the burnt orange color of the wide bands.

VERY nice pics!!!!

Congratulations on RTFM! I've had my camera for over 3 years, and I just opened the digital version of the manual 2 weeks ago!!!
