I hope that your day is going great!! I am new here and want to learn. I just got my camera and really know nothing at all. My son had a major surgery on the 20th so I have not been able to get out and use my camera. Here are some shots that I took at home. Tell me what you think.

Finally, can anyone tell me if this forum is on TAPATALK for iPhone??

First, welcome to DPS.
As far as I know, our forum is not on Tapatalk. Might be a nice addition.
As for info, there's plenty of tutorials here and you can learn a lot by reading, and posting, in the critique section. Just make sure you read the rules. there are stickies in each sections on that.
BTW, I hate snakes but liked the pics!

Welcome to DPS and the wonderful world of photography. I like the pics too, the snakes are cool. I'm sure you have a mountain to read!

Thanks guys, the snake is my sons. I did not really like them either until we got her. She is really sweet. Hopefully this weekend I can get some shots of the horses!

Snakes are usually pretty good to photograph because of the shapes, colours and detail, it always makes me want to get in nice and close. It might be worth having a play with your white balance settings and see what happens

Beautiful snake, great pics. I keep wanting to get my Red Tail out and take some pics of her. I think they would look awesome on a white background just have't had the time to do it.

Unless it's this one :P



We don't get many snakes in the wild here, so a lot of the time it's a struggle against reflective glass in animal houses / zoos / reptilitarianquariumatories

I don't really like snakes... But those are pretty neat! I really like this one. It looks so cool!
