... from the serpentarium.

Note the monitor lizard up top. Didn't seem phased by the huge
anaconda

Cobra of some sort...

Neat looking cobra...

Really nice looking shots of some neat animals. I have always been fond of crocodilians and really like that first shot.
Question for you, I am assuming those are all taken through glass, how did you get such clear shots? I always get way to blurry images without a flash but haven't figured out how to avoid the flash bouncing back off the glass if I do use it.

Thanks. I really wish I could brag about my photography skills, but I can't. The lighting in the serpentarium was really difficult to deal with, and after futilely trying different settings (white balance, flash/no flash, ISO, aperture) etc., I ended up trying "Program mode.) So the camera somehow determined the flash was not necessary but allowed for enough light exposure.

I agree, crocodilians are amazing animals. That's one thing I miss about living in Florida, seeing gators all the time.

Thanks,
Ed
