Newbie and Snake Pictures

AlexSmith

Hey guys I just joined the forum after being led here on a google search. I am 15 years old, I love to take pictures of my animals and try to do the best my crappy old camera can do :rolleyes. Please tell me what you think!

This first one is my female Bolivian Boa (Boa Constrictor Amarali).







Next is my Argentine Boa (Boa Constrictor Occidentalis)





Good Size Photo


And what happens what you make her mad?:scratch


Next up is my male Ball Python (Python Regius)



Female Ball Python (Python Regius)









My new amazing snakes. Reticulated Pythons (Python Reticulatus)
Larger Female (sorry for the low quality pictures on this girl)

Thanks for looking

Alex

Never mind, its a good series though! I like snakes & used to have a small grass snake. Some of your pics look a little over exposed, maybe move your lights back a little or try using something to sften the light a little such as a reflector to diffuse the light. I think you're brave to keep so many. Do they take a lot of work?

Alex,

You've made quite an impression on me. The photo above is my favorite. I think your subject matter is a beautiful one to photograph, and I think you've made an admireable start. Yes, you lighting can be improved and you can work with your DOF as well. However, there is much good you are doing as well.

Besides you're an artist: you're willing to bleed for your art!

Keep it up and keep posting!

Hey Alex, Welcome. Great images Looks like you have your hands full with all your little pets. They really are the best pets though. We just lost our Boa a few months back. Woke up one morning and he was in Snake Heaven. That's on Santa's list for this year. Not sure what kind as of yet but I'm going looking next week for one.


Once again welcome and keep posting......

Hi, Alex. I love snakes and yours are gorgeous. Your pictures of the reticulates really brought out the irridescence in the scales!
