Last week was a busy one. Bonnie, Manon and I took a car load of critters into a k-5 school on Wednesday for a three show gig of show and touch. :D What fun the little ones are. The response was overwhelmingly good which was a relief given that I'd never presented these guys in this way before.
So when push came to shove and I needed a background, I found a simple and effective way to create that seamless background and I had a great time getting all I could out of my little camera. I thought I had exhausted all the possibilities of gaining more resolution from this 3.2mp Canon A70, but I found a little more last week. I didn't realise until later just how much more until I was editing and I found this image of the leopard gecko. I still want a new camera, but this isn't bad!
Worthy of a new tattoo? :D
Here is the little bracket for holding up the poster board. It worked quite well and it made it easy to change the coloured cardboard. The weight of the paper held up the bracket in place very nicely.
Meite's friend had a better camera @ 5.?mp, but really didn't seem to grasp the mechanics of the machine very well. I got two decent images from her efforts. This is my older male ball python in shed. He lost his skin this morning and now can see again! Maybe he'll eat now too although I see his heater is out of whack and keeping him a little cooler than might be required for a vigorous appetite.
The remainder of the images that worked best from that day are less than hoped for really. I crave more resolution.
The classic greeting to an invitation with the blues, again.
Another one of Kat's that worked. My big emperor chowing down a roach in hand.
