So I have this big fancy camera but dont even know how to use it properly yet. LOL (Rebel XT)
I just took all my shots on auto...a mix of profile preset and manual (so the flash wouldn't come on in the darker shade shots). But I didn't adjust any settings in the manual mode.

Shooting an active leopard gecko is HARD. She would NOT sit still. Not a very good model, unless she was just trying to show me all of her poses and various sides. haha

I noticed how the natural sunlight really brings out her pretty colors. Her tan spots almost look lavendar-ish. Very pretty. :)

Okay - so here again is Pele, my female 11 month old or so, tremper albino.....

First photo: Full sun she did NOT like that. Someone had to cup their hands above her head (out of the shot) so that she'd even open her eyes.....

Second photo - I put her in the shade of a tree for more natural lighting and so she'd open her eyes. No such luck. She kept squinting or would open one eye and close the other....

Third photo - not too bad, I actually caught her with her eyes open and not moving around too much:

Fourth photo - oops just got the backside of her. She was wanting exercise today I guess!

Fifth photo - again eyes squinting, I guess those albino eyes dont even like the shade:

Sixth photo - One of the better shots...looks like she's on the hunt!

and seventh and final photo (that was worthy of showing, the rest she was running from me!)

Thanks everyone!! :)

So question...most tremper albino pictures I see they are much darker and have some darkers spots even.

Why is my tremp. albino so light colored and never got any spots really (dark spots)? She's 11 mo old so I assume she's done changing.

Well most females are incubated darker but possibly she was incubated at a bit of a higher temp resulting in her beautiful coloration.

I would so much like to take pics of a few outside too, beacuse outdoor pics are fantastic! But since I saw a video with someone having their...I think it was a hamster, out to take a pic and a bird snatch it right infront of them I don´t dare :(

It´s so nice pics Bethany and such a sweet looking gecko!

Yikes about the hamster! wow! That's horrible. :(

I had my 8 yr old son (who actually owns Pele) be my "wrangler" - he made sure to keep an eye on Pele so she didn't escape and no cats got near - while I shot the photos. :)
