[jwear]

or you shoot what you find months and months of looking Ben and I have kept an eye out for snakes and today of all days he had to go home early and i had to get this on my own --a note birds never bite well Ben parrots do but that is another story ,do not try this at home :rofl Justin a new friend and shooting buddy did not want to play with the snake :huh but i will get him to post some shots .sorry Ben will get one :thumb

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

WTG Buddy glad one of us found one :thumb
Was starting to think they were extinct :dunno
and this one really screams bad ass snake :wow :D

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

Cool beans on the capture. Like most things...I don't know my snakes. Is that a rattler ? ** best Indy Jones** "I hate snakes ". :dunno 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

BMPfirst 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 :dunno :scratch if you can't get around go to fla and car shoot with Harry :thumb :1drink i hear the music is very good -- early rock and roll --or was that big band :rofl

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

[ehughes]

Pretty cool shot Jeff, way more dangerous than Bears :rofl
