So I finally got a new camera... (Snake Pic Heavy)

Fishbone · 12-20-2012, 07:37 PM,

Now I am learning how to use it, lol.  It's the closest to higher end digital camera I've had.  It's still just a point and shoot, a Nikon L310, but I figured I should start of smaller until I learned a bit, so I'd know what actual features I was looking for in a DSLR.  It's got a 21x zoom, continuous shooting, and some other cool features.  The only thing it doesn't have that I think would be useful is an ability to set the aperture, not that I kow much about that anyways, lol. 
So I took a bunch of outdoor photos, some of them came out great. 
 
First up is a close up of my caramel jaguar coastal carpet python, she is close to shedding so she looks a bit dull, but I couldn't resist...

Here's a good example of my aperture/focus problem, even though the body of the snake is only an inch or two deeper than the head, I can't force the camera to hold all of it in focus.  Still a good shot though...
