Down and dirty

I have found that at times... It's just best to get down and dirty. I love the images I can capture when I get down on their level. Even if their level means laying on the ground beside a venomous snake.

You need to warn someone when you go to posting S.N.A.K.E pictures-this one almost bit me!!!

That one is tame... I could show you one looking down his throat.

I would love to see that one! How far away were you?

Looking down it's throat.



and laying on the ground beside one



And just for proof that Im as nutts as some folks claim... I'll give you a little demonstration.

To get this image



I had to do the following



And a closeup of the display on the camera to prove it...

I wouldn't call you "nutts." I've known a few snake wranglers over the years. Mind you I quickly turned down the offer of a free, newborn Egyptian Cobra, but I wouldn't call the folks that are into that kind of thing "nutts."

Besides, you presented some very ssssssssssspecail images here. (Sorry, couldn't resssssit!)

Egyptians are firecrackers. I refused to work with the one in my mentors collection. Everything else.... yeah. I wanna learn. I knew the Egyptian was above my skill level... just like the mambas are. Any other 'hot' out there I will tackle... expecially the north american varieties.
