Snakes!

A couple of weeks ago my brother and sister-in-law came down and brought some snakes. The plan was to do a practice session in snake photography.



Let us start by saying that I don't have the right lighting equipment.  It is clearly something I need to invest in if I want to do any type of indoor photography.  I also have to invest in an auto focus macro lens.



Another thing I learned is that snakes don't really stop moving. 



As a result of the combination, most of the pictures were only partially in focus.



My sister-in-law could tell you all about these snakes, for the moment a snake is pretty much a snake.  If it is a viper, I can tell you I wouldn't be this close.



Showing off some of the markings.



The sun came out briefly.  The colors were really surprising.



Daisy was unimpressed.



Just hanging around.



Who are you looking at?  I would like this a lot more with a larger depth of field.
