A question for Satan...

Is there a large morph of ball python that can eat something this big? I took these shots this afternoon and was curious...

Hey Matt,

It's your good friend Harlin here...LOL

You obviously have some talent with a camera.

Just wondering...how user friendly is that camera?
I mean the photos look out GREAT!
But could the average person take equally stunning photos as those you just posted.

Looking into getting a new camera.
I like the looks of your photography using that camera.
Also like some I've seen taken with the Nikon D-80.
Wondering which camera is more user friendly and produces desired results for a novice photographer.
I'd love to hear your opinions.
Enjoyed the raptors pics.

I meant turned out great...and look great...at the same time.
fingers typing faster than brain works???

Ghireptiles Dec 05, 2007 11:07 PM

I don't know anything about Nikon and all I do is point and shoot...nothing in the way of talent here...right place at the right time.

Well Guys...

I have been nursing this ol' Sony MVC-CD1000 along for more years than I would like to admit...a pathetic 2.1 mega pixels. LOL.

So, I've been looking into getting a better camera.
Someone else had posted photos taken with a Nikon D-80.
They looked nice....but all of them looked like still photos.
I want something that can handle some movement too.
Then I see the pics that Matt has been taking.
Photos with lots of action...yet clear an crisp! Focused!
And he takes nice (practically still shots) snake pics too.
Guess I may have to change my photographic affiliation.
I'm gonna have to look into those Cannons.
Thanks again!

Looks like I was a little generous the the Ns in Canon.
Guess it's not CaNNon. hmmmm.

That bird is 4 (maybe 5) years old going by the coloring in the tail feathers....takes 5-6 years on average for the feathers to be pure white.
