milmoejoe Offline Buy and Sell: On Herp-a-day There are many fantastic herp (reptile and amphibian) images residing deep within this macro board. These closeup pictures rarely fall into any sort of standardized category, and can be successfully shot with almost any lens under the sun. Maybe we can post here, a herp shot every day, to learn about the species and also the creativity behind the shot. I'll try to jump in around 2pm EST every day, incase no one posts, but feel free to post yours up! 1.25.08 Green Tree Python.

milmoejoe Offline Buy and Sell: On Herp-a-day Tom, your chondro shots give me chills when I look at them. The sharpness and the DOF on the scales is wild! Dalantech, thanks for the comments. I am a dated lurker and reader of your blog. Great pics, as always =) Jan 27, 2008 at 01:39 AM

cdTzabcan Offline Image Upload: Off Herp-a-day milmoejoe: Cool shot, very well composed. I think a bit more DOF would push it over the edge, maybe f16-ish. Tom: Great shot, love the wrap-around lighting. Jan 27, 2008 at 05:41 AM

Karl Witt Offline Image Upload: On Herp-a-day Had one to share, shot at Clev OH Rain Forest behind glass. Unique shaped head. Green Vine Snake Scientific Name: Oxybelis fulgidus Description: An exceedingly slender snake with a round body and very long tail. The head is usually elongated and pointed. May reach over 4 feet in length. These animals are back-fanged, i.e. there is a set of venom producing, specialized, grooved fangs towards the rear of the mouth. Diurnal, arboreal. Blend in with the foliage, and as the name implies, resemble vines in the trees and bushes. They take a position on a branch and wait, motionless, for their prey. After biting they hold on to their prey until it succumbs to their venom. Jan 28, 2008 at 03:59 AM

Keke Offline Image Upload: On Herp-a-day Hey guys... I'm going in my basement to find a snake Incredible shots. Joe, the frog compo is wonderful. Tom, the glamor snake is one of the more emotional shot that I ever seen... K Jan 28, 2008 at 01:05 PM

milmoejoe Offline Buy and Sell: On Herp-a-day Tom, great detail in the eyes...something I've never thought to really take into consideration before. Great shot Karl, angle from left corner works out well...really suits the personality of that snake! The winter season has been a bit slow, in which I've revisited a number of old folders. I've started to tinker with old photos that would have normally found themselves in the trash bin. I'm sure it's a controversial edit, but I sometimes like the way it turns out.

I really like this one. Maybe its the monochromatic colors. Very nice. Jan 29, 2008 at 07:07 AM

Henry Hawk Offline Image Upload: On Herp-a-day Some computer glitch on that one. Wow, Computer confusion. Jan 29, 2008 at 07:08 AM

milmoejoe Offline Buy and Sell: On Herp-a-day Think I lost some serious color here with changing the color profile! (As with the last frog image as well) Phyllobates bicolor 100mm/2.8, St-e2, 2x 550EX, tripod. Jan 29, 2008 at 02:10 PM
