Very nice pics. I have noticed that in artificial light, like a room, the camera will focus on the item, and black out the background.
You got a lot of detain in your pics. Very nice

My camera has alot of manuel options. I put my shutter speed to 1/1000 and the aperature to 8.0 Doing this causes everything to far to come up black. I set the focus manuelly roughly where I will be holding the snake and also turn the flash compensation to minus 0.7 otherwise the snake comes out white washed. Try it out let see what everyone else can come up with

lol. That sounds crazy difficult. I just have a finepix. I set the flash to red eye, hold the snake up. zoom, lock the zoom (by pushing the capture button down half way), then take the pic. Its basically a piont click, thing. I will see if I can find some of the pics on my PC that I took like yours.
