• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

I took this pic with my older Nikon D70s.

Very nice picture Steve, shooting photo's on glass makes their colors pop.
I took some wicked pics last year with clear glass making the snakes look like they are floating :)

Thanks Jerry, I watched a guy on YouTube extending a product with clear glass over his shooting table to make the product appear as it's floating; I have to try that one day. If you still have your photos you're welcome to post them here!!

Thanks Tere, it's such a shame that not all my pics come out as nice as this one. It's been a while since I shot pics on black, I'll have to plan on doing it again soon with my new D300s.

Thanks Patrick, I shot this pic on black plexiglass, I wish I had a nice piece of black glass to shoot on...

Does anyone know a place online that I can find black glass?
 
You can spray paint one side of a pane to get 2 different backgrounds....straight black if you use the painted side, or the reflective look if you use the unpainted side.

I painted glass before and can only remember all the runs and drips but maybe if I don't have any luck getting a nice piece of black glass I see how the painted glass works.

go to a store that sells stained glass... if you can't find it, i can get you a piece. there's several stained glass shops here.
 
Most places that repair glass for homes and businesses can get you the black tinted glass if they don't have it in stock. Most of them have left over scrap from jobs that they will sell you for cheap.

I never thought of that, I'll have to see if there is such a place in my area but if I'm not lucky I'll definitely shoot you a pm. :thumbsup:

Thanks I'll have to ask, maybe it's a special order item. I just tried looking online with no luck.
