Cold and Strong
Lens: PENTAX-D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR Camera: Pentax K5 Photo Location: Colmar / Alsace / France ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/180s Aperture: F8 
Posted By: aiglobulles, 01-23-2017, 05:29 PM

One of the shootings that offered me the most strong emotions in 2016: photography of snakes and gecko.

I had never approached these critters, and to have this Boa Constrictor of 2.50m facing me, through my objective, was a memorable experience that I am ambition to renew.

Hope you like it.

What a great shot.

Me... I'd be using a 1000mm plus lens.
