Both of these were taken through glass at the snake park. The first with my 400D and the second with the P&S.

Any snake picture is a good picture!
I think copperheads are very attractive snakes, though they seem "mean" and aggressive to those of us who have to live with them. I don't think it is so much that as that their camoflauge is so good against fallen leaves in the woods where they often live that they are extremely confident, and just stay still to you get right on top of them and they feel so threatened they bite.

I work in pollution control. Think of what in South Africa is probably "Ministry of Environment" and slaps fines on people for exposing workers or the public to hazardous materials. Believe it or not, I don't think I'd want to work with snakes....The idea of working with the poisonous ones scares the bejeezus out of me! But I love photographing them from a position of complete safety!JoanYoung wrote:Yuck!! Poor snake!! I have seen Mike post many pics of snakes and was wondering if he worked with them? It would be a great job!!!
Hey, that Sun is pretty bright, and there's a hawk overhead. Better crawl back under my rock....
