I tried to play around with longer exposures on some of these snakes but between breathing and just not staying still, it was much too difficult. I won't be trying that out anytime soon. It's hard enough getting these guys to sit still long enough for a quick shot, trying to do a 5 to 8 second exposure, forget it. I managed to get a couple of them to sit still for a longer exposure but several of these are done with the pop of a flash. The goal with longer exposure was the desire to have good depth of field with ambient light.

This is more of a gray snake. The gray didn't show up real well.

You can see a bit of blur in that upper coil from her breathing. Don't they know they are supposed to hold their breath and stay still while we shoot them?

I posted a picture of this one recently.

Must have moved his head in this one.

Same snake as above.

Russ, this is one that I bought from you in 2004

Russ, here is another one of your '04 animals.

More to come.....eventually

Brad,
Cool pics. Are some of the 2005 models from my stock too? I think I recognize some of those head patterns. I have a pair of 2004s I held back and the male has turned into this really neat lime green but it's hard to capture the color in a photo...one of those you have to see in person to appreciate. He came from my high yellow pairing. Of those 2004s what was their primary color as hatchlings?

Those are nice. That third, fourth and fifth one are BEAUTIFUL.

Good on ya!

Russ, yeah, a couple of those are the 2005 models, without looking back at the pictures, I think the first two are 2005.

Beautiful thayeri Brad! I like the second one down....the gray specimen. I need to get a lichen covered rock too for photos. Hope business is robust at the Pizza Barn.

Great snakes Brad. They have a nice look to them. I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones the most. But all are nice. Mike

Wow Brad,

You really have that camera mastered. I may have to get one of those SLR digital camera's yet.

I don't know what's better, the quality of your pics or the subject you are shooting.

BTW all of those are some awesome thayeri. I like your MSP the best but that's just me. I also like the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th.
