I recently have returned to the dark side and purchased a snake again.
Can't say I took this one, photo is by John Slone http://www.johnslone.smugmug.com
Brent, I did on the second post on the first page. Brent you have done a fine job , I am playing with film more , it sure isn't as easy as digital . I never really took it to the max so to speak . but hope to do more.

Macro is the easiest thing to nail down for film. I shot everything on manual mode and flash on manual. Then you can figure out on one roll of film what magnification takes what f-stop.
Then you know next time that 1:1 is f16, 1:2 is f11, etc. Just threw these numbers out there by the way. But you get the idea.
I used 2 lights on the chameleon shot. One behind and on camera flash (rebel pop-up flash) for fill. The good thing about the film days was you could spend all your cash on great glass and get by with super cheap bodies for things that didn't need it.
I have no pets (other than some spiders I share the house with) and the local herps are quite frozen for a while, so here's a blast from the past:
Coachwhip, Trans-Pecos variant, Big Bend Nat. Park, Texas. I crept up as calmly as possible, clicking every few feet. This is as close as I got before the critter retreated. D100, 300 f4.
