Light tent suggestions

[yellermelon]

Hey, I built myself a light tent lol. Im using 100 watt daylight bulbs. I left the camera on auto..didnt mess with anything. Dont really know how, I was gonna mess with the shutter speed but decided against it. Whats you guys thoughts on these?

Very cool pics!
I like the Fattie :main_yes:

You need more exposure on these, but can adjust then in photoshop too. The first is pretty good, but the other 5 definately are underexposed.

Oh yeah.... nifty geckos:main_laugh:

Hmm, the first one I had hit a button on the camera, AFTER i took that picture wich made it brighter lol.

Great pics! Is the Fatty from Shaun?

looks really good yeah i agree the last ones are underexposed. you might want to try and change the white balance or try halogen bulbs.

how did you buld your light tent?

Chris,
All the pics look decent enough, but if you are seeking perfect pics, I would follow Robin and Pauls advice. On a side note, I am kicking myself in the behind right now when I see the picture of the Mack above. It is looking really good. I had to go back and look at a pic of it as a hatchling to make sure it was the same one. I wish they all came out and stayed that light.

those are very nice pics, I do agree the mack snow pics are way above quality than the rest, but the rst are still good!

Those pics look great. What is your camera set up? I especially like the AFT. He looks like a colorful turd...I mean that in a positive way.

Get the compact flourescent photography bulbs, they work great. Thats what came with my light tent.

Do you have a light on either side? Looks like alot of shadowing in the first one. I think the lighting on the sides is what reduces the shadows. Don`t quote me on that tho`.

 

[yellermelon]

Yeah theres a light on both sides. I guess I may go to a photography store to look for bulbs. These have the absolute most lumens or whatever its called that home depot had lol. Ill try som photography bulbs....I probably should broke down and bought a light tent huh ..lol
Shaun, you may kick yourself yet, he gains more color by the week

Nice pics Chris. Even the Olive (green) color shows on the 4th gecko pic. So many people have a hard time making that green show on their pics. great job:main_thumbsup:

 

[hgrub]

I'm kinda tired having to hold my geckos in my hand everytime I'm taking their pic lol
