Alright I lied. I'm no professional, but I would like to think I take halfway decent pictures xD.

While I've done "welcome home" photoshoots for all my guys, they were in no way set up with good lighting or with any intentions of being "professional," so I decided to do that today!

First I did Paarthurnax, who is a total ham. He posed for me and everything. I tried to get him to flare by using a mirror, but I don't think he has an aggressive bone in his body xD





He looks like he's waving in this one LOLOLO








Then I photographed Viinturuth, who has quite the temper. He was flaring his little butt off at the mirror!



My favorite <3


Exploring xD










Lastly was Alduin, who wanted no part of the camera, sadly. He sat on the bottom on his side (because of his swimming problem) and for whatever reason, I kept getting a bad reflection from the light so I couldn't even focus on him. I'll get some good picture of him someday :3

Lelei - I only use natural lighting for my photography, so these pictures were all taken outside in a semi-overcast setting. If you want nice pictures, never use a flash - it makes everything look washed out and white. Set up some lights if you have to.

I shot these with my Nikon D3100 and just my kit lens. My other lens if for pictures like 39498492848392 feet away lol.

Your boys are beautiful! Viinturuth looks so similar to my white HMPK Lumi that they could be brothers! I need to get some acrylic containers so I can try to get a "professional" photoshot of my boys, too.

You should enter some of these in the betta photo contest! I bet you'd give copperarabian a run for her money! :lol:

Izzy - Oh man I would love to see his pictures!
He's a little difficult to get a picture of. His nickname is "White Lightning"! lol! There is a picture of the tank with him in it under my aquariums. He's in my first betta tank.
