This is the first time I am shooting any wildlife, let alone snakes!

P.S. Shot with my D40, 18-55mm kit lens and SB-600.

Wow, very dramatic! That snake looks pissed

Maybe a faster shutter speed would be better next time

Yep, I should have upped my sync to 1/500. But then, I was hardly able to "think" about anything since I was laying on my stomach in front of the snake. I felt strangely vulnerable to say the least, despite having a very experienced and capable snake wrangler (a fellow FMer) doing overwatch

I really like the comp and pose of the first shot. Well done.

18-55mm?! I hope these were heavily cropped!

Awesome shots. Better you than me, though.
