I keep them, and they breed themselves :lol: I don't claim to do anything special to get them to breed, just keep them in pairs and away they go. I used to incubate the eggs until a few months ago but now i leave them where they're laid

Cheers Garuf, they're easy to be honest. Like anything, get the setup right and they look after themselves. Spotlight for basking, UV tube, vivarium with plenty of hiding places, feed them fruit baby food and crickets a few times a week, spray the enclosure every to every other day to increase...

Thanks Gill, they are even better in the 'scales'

Incredible

Incredible!

Beautiful snaps George, potential stock images...

On GIMP select the Image tab at the top, then canvas size, and alter it there. You will need to select the 'Centre' option before leaving that menu. Then select the Image tab again and click 'Flatten Image'. The background will then be filled in your selected colour. You can fill it using the...

I've signed up. I could do with some inspiration of topics to shoot - my subjects at the moment are reptiles, fish and plants :lol:

I appreciate that, I was asking if Mark does any processing to the background as in a few of his pics he has a 'streaky', paint brushed look to the backgrounds which I like

Surely it's the lack of depth of field in this case? :crazy:

Gotta admit the first one does nothing for me, but the second and third are great. Do you put a blur on the background in PS?

Great shots, love the composition of the first one.

I seriously cannot get my head around how good those vids look Mark! Amazing detail, it's frightening really :lol: Andy, yours looks awesome too, it's great to see how the tank 'runs'. I can see this way of presenting and displaying ones tank becoming VERY popular :clap:

That last pic is the mut's nuts! :clap:

I'd say so, i'll bet the cover cost more than your 'typical' lens :lol:

The 100-400 looks like a telescope compared to my measly Canon EFS 55-250mm IS lense :lol: Only wish I could justify the money for an upgrade, but I don't get out and about enough to warrent the prices of the L series lenses

Nice snaps, John, what kit do you use yourself? Your mate's lense is pure filth!

If he has no interchangeable lenses then it'll either be a 'Bridge' camera, the stepping stone of the DSLR world. Alternately it's just a DSLR body without a lens and that explains why the pics are so terrible :lol:

Definately worth doing that, to get a 'feel' for the cameras, some people don't like the sizes of certain cameras. I have a 400D and although a mate's 450D is considerably better in performance, I can't keep a happy grip on it due to the smaller body

I would suggest, if you can get a cheap one, get the Canon 450D, however the 1000D is supposed to be pretty good as well. I would buy the body only and plumb for the upgraded lens Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS (unless it already comes with it :? ). I would suggest getting the 50mm 1.8 lens for...

Awesome pic Mark! Did she remove it's wings? :lol: People, don't forget to click the pic to appreciate it!

Depends on what yo want to use it for really, as for the price of the 580, you could get a basic studio lighting package :geek:

:lol: Saw this a while ago, looks more like a Bazooka than a lens :crazy:

I bought my Nifty 50 from him on ebay, was £55 delivered last year! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-CANON-5 ... 7C294%3A50 Great lens but feels like a tacky piece of cr*p to be honest :lol:

:lol: I thought it was the flow from the lilypipe.

Agreed! One thing though, if i'm being REALLY picky, the bubbles at the top are a little distracting :lol: I'm really not looking forward to putting and photos of mine on here, i'll get ripped to shreds :mrgreen: Always easier to critique someone else's work than your own. And if your pics...

Then yes... :lol: ...the lighting is great. Please don't take my critiques as always negative (which i'm sure they seem), just my opinions on improvement :D

The lighting looks great, really like the blue background also but I cant work out what the main subject/focus is. Maybe a greater depth of field would overcome this by allowing you to 'see' more

Haha! You can never take too many shots and i'm sure everyone will agree with me saying you do take a lot of great images from those I have seen in my short time here so far.

That last picture to me, doesn't look right. It's overexposed and cant decide on the subject, the ones previous were much better

The reason i ask is, do you convert them to jpeg to put them online? It pains me to convert my RAW images...

I forgot you have the Pencils, wish i'd gone for some in mine, they had some nice ones in Coxwell Aquatics the other week. I went for a huge shoal of Espei instead, not complaining as they're top banana :lol: Do you shoot in RAW? Please excuse my laziness for not checking EXIF myself :oops:

Good and unusual choice Mark, they look great and that shot is a beauty :D I'd only put another 5 in max.

What is your budget? Canon 450Dis a great entry DSLR camera, though I'm sure someone will suggest a Nikon :roll: and you could probably get the d60 or a used d200 for the same money

Bit dark for walking through the woods round here :lol: I might be able to get out this weekend though, hopefully en route to my LFS :D

Love the second pic Graeme. Just realised how badly I need to get out and about and take some pics :lol:
