I grabbed a gecko that the color didnt exactly matter with first to check out how well my "setup" ended up turning out. As I was afraid it wouldnt, the f 5.6 isnt cutting it, when I bump it up I cannot get a white background no matter what shutter speed I use. Does this mean I have to bump the ISO up and try playing with that also or is it simply the fact that a higher aperture demands more light and i am back to not having enough light again? Here are a few of the f 5.6 pics so you can see what I was getting. The only post processing I did was to crop them, if you would like to see an original also I will gladly post it
