Really nice Mike. The Corkbarks are my favorite as you know. Excellent pictures. Did you just use white printer paper for the backgrounds?

thanks. yea, as you can tell by some of the pictures, my camera has a tendency to have difficulty focusing when there isnt a clear and solid background. im dying to get a good pic of that one cb henk of mine with all the mottled colors, which i think would be best taken on a mossy branch, but every pic i get wont focus properly.

i need one of those SLR's like my friends all have now. or even get them to let me borrow the camera to take some pics.

very unfortunately, that last one perished soon after i moved at the end of the summer. it was a horrible loss for me, seeing as it had some awesome potential, and was the only offspring of a female that died shortly after laying that single egg. the second to last one also died, at about a year and a half old. it had some sort of hemipene prolapse or something of the sort, or perhaps an infection somewhere around that region that i believe led to its death. that was a sad day for me, seeing as that was my first ever hatchling.

What camera are you using? I have a Nikon D50 now, which is a newer Digital SLR. Pathetic as I am, I don't have any gex to take pics of. I really liked the pics of the pietschmanni. I have yet to see them in person, they were just coming in as I was just getting out. :( I have yet to see a picture detailed enough to see the scalation. Even with the undeniable clarity in your photos, I think their scalation is just too hard to discern with the texture and coloration they have. Amazing gex and amazing photos. Keep it up!

i have a nikon coolpix 3700, only 3.2 mp and 3x optical zoom (i hate digi zoom).

the camera does well a lot of the time, but for ever good picture i get, i get probably 4 or 5 blurry ones. its a real pain, because the flash often drains the colors out of the pictures, and when i dont use the flash, the shutter speed slows so the picture picks up more movement and becomes blurry.

an absolutely amazing camera that a few of my friends have is the canon rebel XT. it carries a hefty price, but man is it worth it. you can zoom in on the pics for what seems like forever without pixellation. gets absolutely stunning closeups of herps, i think it has something like 10x optical zoom too.

but i wont be getting one of those till i have ~$800 to spend.

my canon s2 has 12x optical zoom and still has some fully manual features ( including manual focus) and the ability to change lenses, the macro and super macro modes also work quite well. i got the camera for 450 dollars. i already had a 1gb card, and a really nice set of batteries, but you could probably easily do it all for under 550.
