| Hi everybody,
I am a ambitioned hobby photographer and like snakes a lot. Due to the situation in my family I do not own a snake but I take every possibility to photograph them.
Some shots from me can be seen and commented here:

I really and honestly appreciate any - also critical - comments on these images.
All photos were done without flash through the glass of the vivariums.
If I identified some species incorrectly please inform me. This would be very appreciated!
Kind regards,
Guenter

| Hi Mario,
Anybody feel free to ask me photographical questions - I'll share my humble knowledge with pleasure.
And I will ask questions about snakes for sure ...

| Friendly welcome from Carinthia, Guenter!
Good to have You here with Your excellent pictures and Your knowledge as well.
Viewing Your pictures, I'm surprised again and again about the possible quality under those circumstances: no flash, trough glasses, without "helping" the snakes to sit in photogenic position, as You always refused to have special rights.
I'm looking forward with pleasure to your next visit in summer.
Best regards
Peter | |

| Thanks, Peter!
Well, it is like in nature: the good shots are simply a result of some "Selection". Trying thousands of takes and dismissing 99%. I won't show my bad ones here ;-)
But if I'll get a chance to photograph cobras or other interesting snakes out of their cage I won't regret, that's for sure ;-)
Best regards,
Guenter | |
