To quote you from another post... "its a great camera it shows their colors perfectly"

This is what she looked like the day we sent her out to you. You can see her color in comparison to the red and yellow on my Homer stool. It took me one setting to get my camera to have the leos look exactly like they do in real life. We helped her shed a few nights before too.

She's always been yellow, and that's exactly what she looks like in real life...and you know it. I don't understand how a leo can magically turn orange in a few days. I know every camera is different but you've always exaggerated your photos....maybe it's time to be realistic. You have some great animals, there's no need to overdue it Dan. Your mindset should be accurately representing your animals not exaggerating their already nice colors. Best of luck to you in the new year.
 
here too huh

read the email i just sent you.

i wonder why she look incredibly dull that that photo..and yet she looks so colorful and vibrant when i look at her, hmm...maybe she's just happy to be home :D

that was very childish of you ryan..trying to make me look bad :raspberry

she looks nothing like she does in your photo, she's not that dull my friend, funny how you never said anything before..but now that we're arguing you decide to post that on 2 forums. LOL how childish

the contrast on the camera was high, which i fixed, but it did not alter her true colors, only her tail, and highlights are abnormally bright, she is not orange in the photo, the only orange on her is the highlighs, her tail and her head, wich are the same in reality, just less contrasted

here are pictures of her with the contrast fixed, and with her parents

My personal experience

I can't speak for the gecko in question as I've never seen it in person. But I recently purchased the super tangerine tremper albino that Dan had for sale. The gecko I received looks just like the photo's he was advertised in. I realize that is somewhat irrelevant to the current issue about that particular female. But I was not deceived by Dan's photo's of the male. (Which to me speaks loudly, as I have felt let down on a number of reptiles that I purchased online).

Here is a link to the thread on fauna classifieds, and then a picture of the male with one of my females a few days after he arrived.

I am not trying to stir the pot, I just wanted to add my positive experience with Dan's pictures/geckos on this thread.

Thanks,

Alright, well I wasn't going to post here, but after reading your post I am. Again, stop with the childish crap, because you have no RIGHT to call anyone childish. I am sick and tired of dealing with this crap.

Yeah Dan, I bet that because she's happy to be back in your care she magically turned orange. We did a TERRIBLE job taking care of her...you can tell by her size..4 months old and 70 grams. Wow, we really must have been horrible to her. It's funny that you'd say that though, because I do believe you emailed Ryan telling him how great she looks.

I fed that gecko everyday for a few months. I saw her everyday with my own eyes..if I am so wrong on her color, then I better get myself to a doctor. I don't know who you think you're trying to fool.

The reason Ryan decided to say something, is because we cared for that gecko for months, and like I said- saw her everyday. When I opened your post, and saw an orange gecko..and you saying "the colors are perfect" we knew otherwise. You can say that the contrast is up all you want, but there's other issues with your camera as well..the picture of her and the parents 'fixed' still isn't even close. The picture Ryan posted of her is accurate whether you chose to believe it or not.
 
I have to say that there is obviously more going on here than most people know. I would suggest that any further comments are taken to the BOI.

Click to expand...

you completely took that comment the wrong way, i told ryan she looks great...because she does, i never said you guys didint take good care of her, obviously you did

i still dont see how your saying she is orange in the photos, the only orange i see is her highlights, her head, and her tail

i will invite anyone over to my place to personally see that gecko, it is not as dull as in ryans photo at all

i dont understand how you say the photo of her and her parents is still wrong..their color is exactly how it is if you look at them in person, and since she's in the same photo...

i've said it over and over again, the first photos are contrasted, when you pointed that out to me i worked with it and and got it fixed, her body color is not as dull as in ryan photo, even my grandmother, who cannot see very well says she looks better in person than she does in his photo, you guys can sit there and tell yoursevles she's dull all you want, but she simply isnt
 
My final comments since I've already told you most of I've what I wanted to say. Before this post there was another where you had mentioned that "its a great camera it shows their colors perfectly." Now this more recent post you're having contrast issues. I swear in the past year you've taken about 7500 photos easily. I have a pretty firm feeling you know your cameras inside and out, you love taking photos. Something isn't adding up because at least in my mind, someone who spends that much time taking photos must know a thing or two about coloration with their camera. Stop pushing the color limits of your already nice geckos. The only reason I felt the need to post was like Val said...we watched this leo grow up and she's always looked like this. Watch her grow...

The only differences I've noticed in my photos is slight change in lightness or darkness depending on whether or not I take the photo with my light source or against it. The angle of the shot effects the lightness or darkness of my photos too. I have a few different photos of her growing up that show what I just mentioned. Some of the shots catch them perfectly and some are a little darker. Basically, not every photo you take is sure to come out perfect, but they all represent the leo accurately just in varying degrees of light. The final photo I used the flash.

I'm not out to be childish Dan. I just think it would be in your best interest to set your camera to it’s defaults and invest in some lighting. It will make a world of difference versus toying with the contrast. I know I’m not alone with the thoughts I’ve said. Frustration from our experience with this animal lead to this advice. Take it or leave it, I have nothing more to say.
