Good one Jeff. One good thing about snakes is that they will eat night herons. Seriously you did well to capture him so clearly with all the surrounding area have the same coloration. Good job.

WTG Buddy glad one of us found one
Was starting to think they were extinct

I thought we were playing poker...not tossin' dice? Snake eyes?

Cool beans on the capture. Like most things...I don't know my snakes. Is that a rattler ? ** best Indy Jones** "I hate snakes ". Not too fond of spiders either.

How close were you to this monster? I have a huge black racer snake living out in my water treatment equipment area. Damn thing scares the BeJesus out of me every time I go out there.

Cheers

first it is a rattler and it is the another good use of a tri pod you use it to find hold and replace the snake for shooting .now never shoot snakes with a macro --maybe in the zoo but that shot you never get in a zoo .when are you going to be able to walk and shoot if you can't get around go to fla and car shoot with Harry i hear the music is very good -- early rock and roll --or was that big band

Hey Jeff nice shot of the rattler. Where did you see him? I was over at the pond and saw a bunch of dragonflys, Preying Mantis, Grasshoppers and one Green Heron. Well at least you have been out shooting, a lot of nice shots. Have fun. Talk to you later John

Pretty cool shot Jeff, way more dangerous than Bears

Great shot...He look so mean and cranky....I'm hoping you shot that with a nice looooong lens. Living in australia i see way too many snakes for my liking. You did a great job with the DOF
