Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 2:47 pmAll are cool, interesting shots, but this one is well above the crowd, in any crowd. Nicely done.
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 2:57 pmI have to agree that snake head shot is awesome!!!
But the other shots a very nice as well.

Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 3:20 pmI agree with the above....i just hope you were using a HUUUUGE lens to capture it.

Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:10 pmIt does look like you had a great week-end...
The snakes head has terrific detail and clarity (the focal length would be interesting! ) and the big boys toys look like they'd be a ball!

1 - are these guys crazy?
2 - are YOU crazy - that snake is very up close and personal. This is an absolute corker of a pic. Crisp and detailed and way more close than I'd ever get to one of these critters in real life. Dare I say it (memory ain't what it used to be), bit I think this is the best pic I've seen from you.

Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 9:47 pmVery, Very impressed with the snake head.
That's the clarity I've been looking for from my D70 and not able to achieve!
I'm Jealous.... Well Done!!

Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 8:49 amThank you for the nice comments guys. I came across the python sunning himself on a track and paced him out - a tad under three metres, but he was not about to move for me or anyone.
Shot with the 70-200 VR at 200mm.

Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 10:54 amThe carpet python head is awesome. Looks great.
Those errm, vehicles are very interesting. Now that looks truly like off-road driving. I'd like to see those Mosman Maniacs in their Suburban Assault Vehicles take on that terrain.
Great pics.

Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 11:56 amOneputt - a totally enthralling series of shots with the odd snake thrown in
Snakes are nearly blind and will only attack when they sense movement. I have seen a snake wrangler with 2 Taipans going over his boots - he did not move an inch
