A few weeks ago I noticed I had several pics of snake scales from the local zoo. So I sort of made it my goal to try and get photos of lots of snake scales. The local zoo was a good place to start.

Here's a montage of some of the scale shots so far.

I hope to redo this and get them all on approximately the same scale (pardon the pun!).

All shot with
Konica Minolta 7D DSLR
Tamron SP AF 90mm Di macro lens
(kenko extension tubes used on eastern king and hognosed snake)
Konica Minolta 3600 Flash with Stofen Omni-bounce diffuser
Bogen Tripod

Wow.

Great work Chris. I really enjoyed your previous post with the hognose scales et al. Now you've gone through the trouble of collecting them in the same frame for comparisons! I'm glad you put your name of the graphic, because people like me will be grabbin it for PPT presentations!

BTW: there will be no pardoning of THAT pun!

very nice great work

the same thing done with the boa constrictor morphs. There is so many variations it would be cool to see them side by side.

Chris those pictures are great. I have the same Minolta 7D DSLR camera and I want to get into macro photography. Would you recommend that lens you are using? I have a Tamron 300mm Zoom lens and I love it.
