    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Photo Competition

Laura... the competition is simple. You challenge yourself to get better. Not between members. Just looking at Steve's smiling boa... makes me wish I still had DSS so I could get a similar shot.
 
Laura those are some amazing pics!!
I'm not posting for any competition either, unless we win something. j/k
It was nice of Kevin to create a thread to share some of our photo skills.

Love the diaper on the cham... what in the world was that all about? LOL

I'm no competitor either... I love taking pictures of family... I have some in nature but can't seem to find them anywhere :(

Here's a couple more around the house shots :)

No DSS was used in that photo, I just set my Nikon on the tripod and used a Nikkor 105 micro with a ringlight and snapped the shot with a remote.


This pic was hand held using a flash on the hot shoe.

Yeah, that works for me, Kevin :)

Thank you again, Steve.

That's his Speedo ... he'd be very embarrased if he knew you thought it was a diaper!
He's quite the stud (in his own little mind), so was using that photo to find a suitable mate.

Love the intense look on the snake's face in #3, Christine.
 
Actually DSS stands for Demonic Spawn of Satin... and that was one of my boas. EVERYTIME I would open the tub I would bleed.
 
Whoa, Steve ... nice! Tyler ... post more of that snake. Man, he has some awesome eyes!
