Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

Thank you! I will slowly but surely start posting more photos.

I have had a problem with it in S.A. My photos kept getting used and abused on the other website. I hate the watermark but I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Well I don't care so much about abusing as long as nobody makes money with my shots. Then I really act and sue this people.

Besides that I found that small resolution (<=1024) is the best. Nobody can use small res files in books, posters, etc.

Ok cool. I changed the photo to one without watermarks. Won't be doing that ever again.

Here's the same squam about a year before I took the first photo. Outside with natural light. I used a diffuser and a reflector.

Thanks Guenter.

I am anal about focus. It's not a photo if there is no focus. It's really difficult though because I don't have a macro lens. I am using a 300mm which means I'm standing like a meter or two away which makes it hard to get 100% sharpness. I have been looking through your work, AMAZING!!!

I would love to, or even close-up filters but because I'm still a student I can't afford it. I just have to make due for now

Extension tubes are cheap - about 30-50 dollars for one - and You won't need any more.
The cheapest way to "go macro".

Close up lenses are much more expensive if good quality. So are macro lenses.
