Hi, sorry am posting a bit on here tonight as I read/think of stuff. 
I list photography among my hobbies and have a set of studio lights in my spare room. If I built a set design on a table for Pandora to pose on, how would she likely react to the flash of my strobes? Would it stress her? Would she not really be bothered or is this sort of thing snake dependent? If studio flash is too much I could use a lower powered flash gun or even on-camera flash if need be. Otherwise I'll just have to bump up the ISO and shoot in ambient light I guess.
Not doing any of this just yet anyway as I've only had her a week and she's still settling in. Plus I haven't got enough props for a set yet! But having Pandora as a model is something I'd love to do soon! lol
Cheers, Ptm

I try to not use a flash when photgraphing my lot but I'm always forgetting to switch it off and it doesn't seem to bother any of them. To be honest though they are shiny and a flash does nothing for the quality of the shot, best using natural light and a high ISO film/setting.
EDIT: Forgot to say direct flash just ends up with a ton of retina reflection. |

Cheers for the quick response there.
Am looking forward to posing her in the weeks/months ahead and hoping for a few nice shots among the foliage, on the rocks/log, climbing out of a skull etc, as well as a nice portrait or two...
And sorry I just realised this should probably have been in the general forum... Soz!  |

Its OK, mods only come round and break your legs on your second offence.
I'm waiting for the summer to dig out the SLR for an outdoor shoot with the beasts, in the mean time I use the everyday compact for capturing moments. |

Flash, when done well, looks just as good if not better than ambient lighting. Especially when you have to take the shots indoors and the natural light coming through the window isn't all that attractive.

That depends on where the "direct flash" is located. If it's on camera flash, yes. Just get the flash of the camera. :)
All of the images in my sig, except for Darwin, were shot with flash. |

Those are some lovely photos. Can't wait to get Pandora posing! lol
Your pics look even better to me right now coz I had an eye operation for cataracts yesterday and have just taken off the patch for the first time, and everything looks so bright and vibrant and even in 3d. Looks like I could reach out and pick your snakes up Lixra!  |
