Hi, i took a photo today while my little guy was on the wall. Could you guys tell what sex it is or is it too soon? I posted this picture in the introduction thread also and sorry for spamming but i am really anxious to find out. :)

I tried but if i moved my phone a little bit closer you would see only the reflection of the flash. So do you have any idea how can i take a good photo?

try turning off the flash and use a light from the side,
just enough to illuminate the area your trying to get, my iphone flash reflects like crazy too.

Ok i'll try.. by the way, does flash or strong lights disturb or damage his vision or anything?

It bothers most of them, My T ockerti will burrow under her cork if I shine a light on her, my avie just sits there like I'm silly.
Red light is what's been recommended for sneaking a peek,
and they have also said on one of these posts that the little lazer lights can damage their eyes. Think it was Schoolman said NO laser type lights.
