Outdoor Photoshoot with Kalis!

[Pareeeee]

I took Kalis outside yesterday, his first experience with the great outdoors. He seemed a little fearful at first, but seemed to warm up to it quickly. I managed to get a few nice pics of him...he's very photogenic...

Enjoy!

Amazing pictures. What kind of camera do you use?

[Pareeeee]

Thanks, it's a Canon Powershot SX20is

My roommate has a Nikon something or other.... and I always miss the best shots because it's like "Snake? How about I focus on the hairs on your arm instead??"

haha. You need to use the manual settings instead of auto. I hate the auto face recognition feature...

[TheBoogieDown]

It's hard doing manual one handed. Normally I'm alone doing it. I'll try manual next chance I get. I also have some good luck using that little flower setting on the turny-dial thingy.

[Pareeeee]

Yeah, use the "flower setting". That is macro for close-ups. I don't usually even bother with manual focus, I just take the camera off of auto so it won't try to recognize faces. It also allows me to change shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc.

You take beautiful photos.

You take beautiful photos.

Thank-you very much ;)

MACRO! That was the word I was trying to think of. I use that word all the time, until I need it then I blank it out. I don't know what all this thing lets me do. I don't use cameras very often (until recently... now that I have a reason to take pictures I wish I'd learned more in my photography class in HS)

[Kaetlinv]

he's so orange O.o I hope he keeps that color... it's amazing! Almost like an orange dream morph... so pretty!

[alessia55]

AWESOME photos! :yes: Your royal python looks amazing in that natural sunlight too :cool:

[Evolieno]

Look at that cute nose and pink tongue! I hope to get a good shot of my snakes tongue one day. It's like she knows I'm trying and does it right after the "click". Great pictures, Paris!! Thanks for sharing :)

[Snickers]

Nice pics thanks for sharing.
