These 2 are my tremper enigma giant sisters, Im loving how they are turning out.

I know it needs some work, so tell me what you think, or if you have any tips?

Wow they are very pretty

trempers are the best among the Enigma's, which are super nice

tip: use reflective white for your box, something that lit up with your flash.
or you didn't use the flash ??

it still looks good, just a tip ha

Thanks everyone, Wim, I didnt use the flash, I will try that next time thanks for the tip

Very nice,

As Wim said, use more light. f8, 1/200 shutterspeed and ISO 200 will give you a good shot 9 out of ten times

Nice leo! I don't any geckos at the moment so don't have any experience photographing them, but I still like to photograph other things around the house, such as the orchid at bottom of page (photographed without flash).

IMO, the edges in the box take away from the gecko (distracting to my eyes). I would try a large piece of white contruction paper and just bend it so no noticeable creases. Also, I think you need more light, such as a clamp lamp shining in. I wouldn't use the cameras flash though because in my experience it washes out the pictures colors & messes up the depth perspective of the photo. Just my opinions though. Good luck!

PS: From what I've read, always make sure the eyes are the focus of the photo. Humans always look at the eyes to get emotions, so people find the pictures more relateble/interesting if the eyes are focused on.
