Photography Techniques and EquipmentThis forum is for the discussion of technical details of how to take good pictures as well as discuss the equipment used in that pursuit.
Honestly, I have a real photo lightbox / phototent and I find them really crappy. I've tried them with snakes but usually they come rushing out the front or you just can't get the frame right (annoying corners etc). I use a fairly cheap softbox studio light system with my Canon DSLR and I love love love the light!
Here's a photo I made with my set-up, the background is just a big piece of white paper:
Anyone know if I should start experimenting with Macro, High Sensitivity (for snake movement), Sports mode (for pics that are not up close)? Auto has just not done it for me with this camera, so.
Also, should I mess with exposure at all for quality color pics? What's the best way to bring out the patterns and color with these guys and my available settings?
Should I use the multi-shot option?
One of the best things you can do is experiment. Try different settings with different lighting. One of the best ways to get better photos is to think about lighting first. The best thing about digital is you don't have to worry about "wasted shots".
