So, I borrowed a digital camera so I could get some pics up here, but oh my goodness is it difficult to take a clear picture...maybe I drank too much coffee or something... so sorry for the blurriness, but I've never posted a pic of Fred or Ethel and I've been on here forever, so here they are:

And of course, since you know I can't resist posting off topic:

Cute turtles! What a pretty shell on Ethel!

Photo tip: It looks like your blur issues are a matter of camera focus, rather than camera shake! Try taking the pictures from a little further away, then crop them on the computer if you need to. Lots of times the camera just can't focus as close as we'd like it to! Hope this helps!

I agree with starchick
When i started out
I used to jam the camera up to Tito's face
It always became blurry

Try taking it from a distance then zooming in

thanks starchick, i probably took 150 photos of the turts, and these are the closest to being clear...somehow all my mammal pets turned out fine tho, maybe it has something to do with the camera's face recognition.

and thanks everyone, they think they're cute too! they're sitting in the spotlight waiting for their next photoshoot.... (aka basking)
