Default Couple of Housies looking nice.

Hello folks,
Snapped a couple of pics of 2 of my wee housies that are looking good if you ask me!
was trying to get semi-professional looking pics for a little project I am working on, the best ones have been saved to my pc and i'll have a gander through them, see which i like most but these are nice

my Little CB08 lineatus male


& my CB08 Het T+ Cape Male


I was going to try this with my little WC lineatus female, but after seeing the way these guys wriggled and how much she wriggles when NOT on a mirror, I thought better of it

cheers

yup Barney, they are indeed on a mirror, to get the background dark I laid the mirror on the floor in a dark room (a room with soft lighting i.e an energy saving bulb) and i put the flash on, this brought the snake out and darkened the background, the mirror had a few flecks on it so I opened the photos up in paint shop pro and got rid of the flecks & used the darken brush to make the background even darker.

annoyingly, there was also about 3 reflections of the snake so i used the blone brush to get rid of those too.
really rather highly edited photo to be honest
