At this whole lighting fancy-schmancy picture taking dealio.

What do I know about lighting? Nothin. Photo booth stuff? Nothin. I used a pillow case and a couple lightbulbs I found in the garage.

All things said and done though, I like the results!

Dot (she was very patient with me):

Coco (who was not quite so patient):

Periscope (the most patient snake of them all):

I took TONS of pictures just to get those! The other snakes were too big to fit on the pillowcase/still digesting their dinners. After Cindy sheds I'll try this stuff out again

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! It gets to be an obsession when you're taking pictures - "just one more should do it! er, wait, one more! okay, one more..."

Nice Pics Jenny! I wouldn't know anything about taking pics. But now using you as my inspiration maybe I'll try to catch a pic of the very illusive "bigfoot", opps I mean Super Lori Ball. It might be faster to fly you out here with your pillow case and a few light bulbs and take the pics for meBrian(BHB)
