Just picked up my lens the day before yesterday, didn't have a chance to do anything with it last night. So far i'm terrible at trying to compose pictures as i'm working hand held and everything is there and gone so fast that I just snap away. Anyway I took about 147 pictures last night of everyone, from My cat to Thil and even a roach, so here are that pictures that I feel made the cut!.

I basically tried to just take photos of everyone's Pattern, like a basic shot of every and how they differ but only got a few good ones. I really need to invest in a flash and a tripod :|

Paree - I use a light box, with three crappy white bulbs from walmart and the flash on my camera, I'm hoping to get a better light set up as well a new flash soon :\. Thank you, I plan on taking some more today before work, should be posted tonight if there are any good ones.

Kat - Thanks girl, I took the one with Brood's side in it with you in mind :P

Just some new photos I took today before work, could only take out Thil and Andarist due to others having full bellies or shedding.
