Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Just wanted to share a few pics of 3 of my 6 yellow heads. When I get my camera situation figured out i'll take some pics of all of my guys and gals. I would like some photo ideas on what y'all use to take those stunning pics.........can't seem to get the lizards true colors...........
I really enjoy this forum and hope to get more involved soon. Thanks for the entertaining chat folks.

I can tell they are really blue Jim, pretty lizards, that bottom pic turned out very nice, love the yellers

Try taking the pics outside the tank, sometimes the lights wash out the lizards colors. Or figure out what ya did to get the bottom pic, and do that again, hehehehheee !

Very pretty and husky group

hi dear.jim kendrick here
i am still trying to figure that one out eve. why did that picture work so well??????? can't come up with an answer. when i get it figured out i will post my collection then. as for the babies, they're doing great. stop getting fiesty finally. they're 3 weeks old now and growing fast. thanks for the response dear. take care

Jim,

Glad you posted the photos - thanks!
I suspect that you are using a digital camera. The first two photos
appear to have the wrong white balance set on your camera thus the yellow
cast. You might want to check your manual and see how to set the white
balance for the type of lighting you are using to take the photos. Auto
white balance works most of the time but can really be fooled with indoor
shots. If you are shooting with flash - try the flash white balance setting.
If you you are shooting without flash and the lighting is tungsten, try the tungsten
setting. Finally a certain amount of color cast can be changed in most photo
editing software after you have downloaded the images into your computer.
Good luck and keep the photos coming!!
