Snakes have always drawn everyone's attention, whether one is petrified of snakes or comfortable with their presence. And all those whose passion is `nature photography', always dream to shoot snakes with their cameras. Its easy to shoot a tiger or elephant in the wild, while being on a photo safari in a national park, but its quite challenging to get good snake photographs, which can be powerfully enticing for a viewer.
If you ask me, I find it easy! Not to brag about it or to humble you or to humiliate all nature photographers, it is easy in reality. I have no magical wand, I simply follow the unwritten rule book of SNAKE PHOTOGRAPHY. You will just need time and patience, first read and then practice at its own pace, under watchful eyes of an expert. Keep practicing! You break the rule and you will invite trouble! Here the fine you pay, could be a fatal bite or at least a bite with everlasting painful experience. I am sure no one would like to repeat that, after one mistake. Better it is that you avoid it by all means!
In the past, many people commented on my snake photos with such powerful words, while admiring the snake photos, that I have been compelled to share the secrets of snake photography here on the internet. I have done my best I could for the subject of `snake photography' with my limited power of expression through English. I will keep improving it as and when it needs it and learn more about it with the passage of time. As they say - one never stops learning.
If I can do, I am sure you all can do it.
KEEP THE FANGS AWAY! This was coined by my snake friend J.c. López-Johnston, toxinologist in the US.
