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

We had a photo contest on one of the other sites and I entered a couple of photos. The theme was anything to do with the holidays. Please do not compare these to Guenter's excellent work, but I am fairly pleased with the results of these two photos. Enough to show them off here, anyway. Wink

This first one was my more subtle entry with the red hues and lights in the eyes (Atheris squamigera):

And I caught someone being naughty and waiting for Santa to come around the corner! (Atheris ceratophora):

Hope you enjoy! Very Happy

Derek, really fine work!!

But I think the first one could be pushed a lot by doing some "Levels". If You send me the file, I'll try it, if You like.

BTW: I love Atheris!

Here's how Guenter improved my first photo with his superior knowledge of the photo editing software. Very cool, thanks for the tips Guenter!

If it IS an improvement!!

The character of the image changed completely. It simply depends, what one likes more.

What I wanted to show: Using just a bit of "Levels", it is possible to bring out a lot of hidden colours and contrasts in an image. It was really just a 3 minute edit.
