Attempts at pictures (dial up warning!)

[Cryptly]

I set up a nice little bit of branch as a prop to get pictures of geckos on. Things didn't go anywhere near what I had hoped.

First up, my Jungle het Bell Albino girl, Magnolia. She wouldn't get off my hands, so I had to get my boyfriend to take these pics.

Chinacat

Chinacat behaved a bit more. Still not quite what I was looking for. . .

Here's where I tried a closeup. . .guess I got a bit too close.

Sunflower

Sunflower wasn't much better. Then after a couple of pictures the batteries in the camera went.

Still no pretty picture of a gecko sitting on the branch, but I guess these cute shots will do for now.

Your Leos are lovely and mine don't hardly ever "behave" when I am trying to take their pics
A tip on batteries for digitals
If you camera takes AA"s
you can get an inexpensive battery charger that is really small and plugs right into a wall outlet and just hangs there-if any of you have any open wall outlets left-I don't have many-lol
The charger is usually sold at drug stores-I got mine at CVS- around the battery section(makes sense-(duh) and it runs around $20
They probably carry other chargers for different sized batteries-I just never looked
I got mine for free with my CVS bonus Bucks-LOL
It holds 4 AA batteries and it really saves on $s
Mine came with 4 batteries so it was a steal

Haha...I really like the "close-up". Now, if you don't mind, I think I'll steal your idea for some pics of my own. We'll see if my guys behave. LOL

lol I know how you feel. My gecko hate standing still and never do!

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. If you do manage to get your geckos to hold still, please tell me how!

I have rechargable batteries for the camera, but they take 13 hours to charge!! I was using cheap AAs to get those pics because I was too impatient to wait for the other ones to charge. :main_laugh:

Even thought they didn't turn out the way you wanted them i still think they are really neat, especially the last one. IDK why but it appeals to me lol.
