do you all have super duper cameras, as alot of the pics you all take are sooo clear, and the colours are great,

when i try to take pics of my snake,
a) he won't hold still
b) the pics are blurry
c) the colours don't come out well without the flash, but with it is too bright....

i use my phone camera which is either the n95 5meg or c905 8meg so i guess if u have a didgital camera with 5meg or more u should be able to get some good pics

Lewy has a good camera- but he still takes about 100 photos to get a handful of good shots.

They don't pose very well do they

Most cameras should work just fine. The biggest challenge like Kaz has mentioned is getting the snakes in a good pose. I really want to know how Kathy Love gets her corn snakes to make great poses in the book she made.

my cam is pretty good.. but i can get very good shots with a basic digital camera.. you dont need much more than 5megapixels to be honast. i no you can get cams up 2 10 or 12 reali cheaply these days but i think its pointless to a certain extent, my cam is 6.3 and if u look at my quality some are pretty clear. to get past the problem of to bright with flash and to dark without try changing ur ISO or shutter speeds if you can, all digital cams that ive seen got the ISO function so try changing that from auto and see what the results are.

im the same as lewy, delete a hell of a lot more pics than i keep, prob keep around 10per every 100 lol
