Yes it was. I learned so much. Always liked snakes just had a problem with the venomous ones :-). When you learn how to handle them you loose the "fear" (not the respect - always respect them!)

Originally posted by HarveyG: This is the best of your series due the good background and pose. You'll need to push the shutter speed a lot higher though to get him crisp and tack sharp. At least 1/1000th. The aperture is to small at f/18. Try f/8. Should be ample on that lens and still get his eye sharp.

Thank you so much for this feedback - it helps. I just don't seem to get the shutter speed up as much as I would like to :-(. This was a very unique opportunity for me to take these snakes and it took a while to have the guts to be close enough ;-). I was thinking with the f/18 I would have a better chance of having her in focus. Of course that pushed my shutter down ...
