Hi there guys,

Trying to get some professional pics of my snakes for my photography project, of just a plain black background..

How would you do it? I was thinking get a cardboard box with one end cut off, so theres 3 flaps and put a bit of black board on the bottom, with some props (logs, etc..)

anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks.

I cheat if I want a black or near dark background.
My camera when set to 'auto' with a focal point about 15-20 cms away it always blasts the focal area with light and unless it's close in the background it will go black.

Hmm, sounds a worthwhile tip to try, going to try to avoid flash as possible though! They didn't take well to it last time..
