Thank you Howard, Tom, and Morris. I really appreciate the positive comments. There's a lot of fine photography on this site, it means alot to get positive feedback here.
mkweaver, he was about 3', maybe a little more. They can strike 1/2 to 2/3 their body length. For the most part, he was quite calm. He did rattle a bit, as you can see in the 2nd pic, but he never did strike.
I have a very healthy respect for them. I have seen two people get bit right before my eyes, and have seen the effects of many other bites. Believe me, I don't ever want to go through it myslef.
The 70-200mm has a minimum focus distance of 5'. Although I may appear very close to the snake, I was at least 5' back from him.
Peyton, Aug is great. The rains have already started here in Az. I plan on spending a week straight in the field in Aug!
Bill
