I may get all my babies curled up real tight on the window...

Is is one of the harder ones for captions...

First off, bright sunlight allows for fast shutter speeds which is essential. Otherwise, all you get is a blurred tongue. Still blurred a little bit. Macro mode, snake sitting still, camera very close, and taking photos as fast as I can until one happens at the right time.I try to let my snakes out at least once a week for a minute or two when temperatures allow it. Let them "sprint" around until they're breathing hard. It's good for their heart, lung, and muscles IMO. That's something they just can't do in any practically sized enclosure - get exercise. I think if you don't do this once in a while, they get out of shape, flabby, and their muscle tone goes to pot.

I take lots of photos till I get the right one but I never new about the bighter light for faster shutter speed .Thank you. Now Im gonna have a lil more fun taking pics. I love taking them anyway but maybe now I can take more that will look a lil better thank you again that is a great tip.

Now here is a question. I hear people taking about taking pics in the window. I can do that or take some inside but have the sun on them. That is still ok for the contest? I might try that or outside but itll be probably with Pozer cause hes so funny and he likes to pose for pics anyway so itll be easier. I might even try to take it outside to. Hopefully i can get it down right and in time onto the computer bt Im having trouble with putting the pics to my computer so hopefully it works good.
Thaks for the great tips. Im gonna go try sometime today cause its a beatiful day and I might et some awesome pics.

I didn't feel comfortable takin mine outside, so I did the window. That's fine.

Look at mine, he's just sitting on the window. That works since there's sunlight.

I dont want to let mine go either. I dont wanna lose them but I am going to try to use my calmest one . He (?) really likes me and I am going to try the holding tail thing that was mentioned. I am even going to take a tail pic and maybe u all can sex him for me. I am just learning on that part but those will be posted somewhere else. I am going to use my phone to take some pics and my camera. so that I can atleast post the ones that come from my phone. Its not as good quality and might now be able to get as close but I wanna try. Hey you never know , I might get some wonderful pics.

I don't doubt now-a-day phones cameras anymore.:rolleyes
Post away.

but your picture is the easiest one to caption, your snake has that kind of look on its face

[RedSidedSPR]

True. Nothing is coming to mind though......

[Mrs N1ntndo]
