| Thanks Derek. This one was taken with a Canon 5DII and a Sigma 150/2.8 Macro with an additional extension tube 18mm. Two studio flashes were used.
The squam is rather small, maybe 25cm long so the macro equipment was necessary. | |

| Very nice. The detail in the eye is wonderful. Did you also use two studio lights with this one? I have finally purchased my first slave flash, but I have yet to have time to play with it. Hopefully, it will help my lighting situation once I figure it out. | |

| Wow, another very nice macro, Guenter! So, I can also add an extension tube to my Sigma 105mm macro and it will remain sharp? Any recommendations since I know nothing about them? | |

| Hi Derek, Sure - it will remain sharp as long as You stay near. It won't be sharp for larger distances then (above 1-3m or so - depends on the length of the tube). | |

| Thanks. This year an exhibition in Traun near Linz in September. A calendar? I guess it won't sell, most people do not like snakes. | |

A calendar? I guess it won't sell, most people do not like snakes. But we like ... how many members venomland have ... if 10 - 20 % would by a calendar ... I´d buy at least one. | |

| Thanks Ari, I like it too (wouldn't have processed it otherwise) but my personal favorite is the second. Anyway - I am very happy that Peter made this possible. He has a lot to do but always takes his time for my photography | |

| I'll punish You with another one though there are not many comments in this thread (too many squam shots I guess) but I am kind of an sadist! A question to our systematicus: No real information about the venom seems to be available, or the informations given differ a lot. What is the truth about the venom of this species? Is it really stronger as the venom of other atheris species? Why is no antivenom available - many snakekeepers seam to have atheris. | |
