Your 3 all-time favourite shots

[CDN_Blood]

If you had to choose 3 images you've taken of your own snakes and call them your favourites (sorry, CDN spelling there), which would they be and why? I know, I know...it's hard to pick only 3, but if I did it, you can too :)

I'll start the ball rolling with these...

Boom-Boom - I love the accidental composition of this image
http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/CDN_Blood/Bloods/Boom-Boom/file-3.jpg

Blue - again, accidental composition that I like so much
http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/CDN_Blood/Bloods/Blue/file-2.jpg

Tanner - just so handsome in the grass, and such a classically good-looking snake

[infernalis]

Should change this to "reptile pictures"

Not all of my favourites are of snakes.

And Canada spells words correctly, Noah Webster was a moron.

[KORBIN5895]

So should we Americans spell it litre?

[KORBIN5895]

Oh and is it pro pronounced zee.Or zed?

[Terranaut]

Zed!!! Shouldn't liter be pronounced lighter considering proper grammer? Not to mention the metric system was invented by the french in the 18th century. So yes .... It's litre :)

[KORBIN5895]

Actually we pronounce it lee- ter. And sorry but again I am an American and its quit obvious we speak correctly. If you don't believe me just ask. And speaking of zed it is a freaking name!!! All gje other letters are sounds but you bloody Canadians think it is ok to make the last letter a word as opposed to a sound..... Don't listen to the French they will just give you there land or something like bad cheeses.

[KORBIN5895]

Great topic though Todd.

[CK SandBoas]

This one of my BRB i love because the way his head is tilted up in an almost wistful expression.

I laughed at how this one came out, with my Grey Banded King, he looks so guilty!
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/crisscris/019-4.jpg

The last one isn't great, but just the angle of my Sand Boa wrapped around the hopper mouse is priceless:)

Centre, Tyre, Grey, Colour, Flavour, Honour, take the lorry on the roundabout...

If you want to call it English, spell it like the English do.

[jaleely]

I just do not have a good camera...yet! So all my favs are...my profile pic, and maybe one of the ones of the snakes in the chrismas ball that i posted on this thread:

http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/general-discussion/89617-snakes-my-christmas-tree.html

Oh yeah and i love one of my hognose eating!!! Gosh there are too many. I love the snake on your nose, btw!

[millertime89]

of my snakes, these three are my favorites for now. Nero is just a blast to photograph when he's out and about.

It was tough picking the top three. Had a really nice one of my Yellow Anaconda and one of Jungle x Jag that were in the running.

Exactly! It's a challenge :)

[CDN_Blood]

Wow Marvelfreak, great images! The natural setting really adds pop :)

Thanks Todd! All my best pictures are outdoor pictures. I love how the sun hitting them bushes in the back ground makes their color just pop.

Well, if you have more like that, you may have to do a Part II and show us the Eunectes :)

[lady_bug87]

Ok these are my favourites

That be cool!

Ok these are my favourites

Every time I see a GTP image, it makes me want to hug them and squeeze them and have them for my very own, lol.

Lovin' the Boa pic, too :)

[lady_bug87]

Thanks s/he (hasnt been sexed yet) just had a shed and looks great I wouldnt hug her though the teeth can now go clean through leather gloves and when s/he bites s/he holds on (Ive never been bit but hubby has haha)

I am anxious for her colour change which of course I will be documenting on here as it happens

[Kiljosh]

What sort of creature is this, looks like the one dinosaur from Jurassic Park who eats that computer guy winching his jeep to a tree after getting it stuck in the mud. Shot like sticky goo from it's mouth that blinds him. :p

[Kayla90]

A Frilled dragon :D :D Everytime I go to expos I end up staring at the little ones waiting and hoping they'll open their mouths so they open up... but they never do :(

[Lankyrob]

Yes tilly is a frilled dragon - one of the lizards we have put up for sale. Shop owner said she should go pretty quick as it is rare to get a frilled dragon that is perfectly tame and handleable but also puts on the full display.

[Kiljosh]

I'd be interested in seeing some more pics of him if you have them, I love the orange in him.

[Lankyrob]

These are all the pics i have - now that she is at the reptile shop for sale i wont get anymore :(

[Kayla90]

These are my three favourite ones... of pictures I currently have now..

1st: "Whatchu looking at??"
2nd: "Bahaha I've reached the top" For some reason all of our animals like to climb up on my head... Chomper got me on my lip in this picture trying to climb up there..
3rd: "Nooo don't drop me..." I'd never, but he's sooo cute!

[red ink]

My three favourite shots....

My first ever snake so will always hold a special place....

I love her colour (australian spelling instead of "color")

Me??.... I took all of those pics.

[Kayla90]

Bahaha I just noticed the writing "Red Ink Images" Duuuh..
So are you a photographer? Or just something you do as a hobby?? Your pictures are very beautifully taken.

[red ink]

Thanks... and both to the first two questions. I have a degree in scientific imaging (BSci. Scientific photography), but I don't do it for a living.

[Kayla90]

WEll hey it works out perfectly with your snakes, you never need to hire a professional to take the awesome shots!! Unlike me.. I can't take pictures for crap.. Stephan apparently gets all the good ones XD

[presspirate]

In no Particular order, Cap'n, Ghost and Abyss

[millertime89]

pirate, what species is Abyss?

[CDN_Blood]

Cool. You don't see Scrubs often :)

[jaleely]

Every time I see a GTP image, it makes me want to hug them and squeeze them and have them for my very own, lol.


DITTO! LoL
I could name one George too, for kicks.

[presspirate]

Abyss is an aru scrub python. A handfull....lol

Love 'em Wayne! Chomper looks epic with that piece of grass in his mouth lol. Always love open mouth shots. I can never seem to catch mine, even on feeding day. What's the green one? His pose says. "What are you lookin' at, buddy?" lol

[millertime89]

Abyss is an aru scrub python. A handfull....lol

That's what I thought, you just don't see 'em too often so I figured better ask anyways.

It is so hard to choose 3.

[marvelfreak]

It is so hard to choose 3.
So have you chose 3 yet?

[UwabamiReptiles]

I know this thread is kind of old but this is a good idea. It was really tough to come up with 3 but here's what I came up with.

First is Boomer, he was my first snake and he'll always have a special place like red ink said. Not a great pic of him but its always been my favorite. I was terrible at taking pics when I had him but this is one of the better ones.

http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l615/Uwabami/0199.jpg


Next is one of my IJ jag. I've posted this one before, sorry to put ya'll through seeing this one again:p

http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l615/Uwabami/201075ijjagpostshed1-8-1211.jpg

I'll be lucky to find 3 per animal.... This thread is prejudice! Seriously though, great pictures everyone, we could make our own reptile magazine with all these. Keep them comin', I'll keep trying to pick 3...

[Trent]

Here is my three.Hard to choose.
In order my albino female Harley,my male snow Frost,and my etb Esmeralda.

Sorry I just got round to this.. The epic green snake is a Cyclophiops Major from Asia. An arboreal rain forest snake about the same size as a black racer.

three more pics..

If I have to choose, Id say I like these 3. The first one is of Merlin on the tire swing. The second one is of Black Betty when I had her out. The third one is of Lancelot shortly after I picked him up from the Omaha Show.

I like the baby picture!!!

Yeah I lucked out with that shot. :)

[SerpentLust]

Todd you're a jerk to choose the number 3. Can't it be one shot of each of your animals?? lmao

Shots that didn't make the cut are of Chuck Norris my beardie, Pickle the Chameleon, Duchess the Borneo, Duke the Borneo, some of my Tarantulas, etc. etc. etc. But Noooooo, you insisted on THREE.

First shot is Gimli the Blue Tongue Skink, I took this photo years and years ago and it has always been my favourite of him.

Second one is a low quality photo of Montey my Spotted Python with her eggs hatching, you can see one of her little babies posing for the photo too which I find adorable.

Lastly, I have ALWAYS loved this shot that I took of Midnight my Black Blood and Caylan's Nephry (his daughter):
