Hi gang. Once again, chiming in around 2:00am despite my self promise to get to bed early. Anyway, I figured I'd do another entry of my "Trying hard at photography" series for tonight's Daily Nature Fix. Long story short, it's basically some of my better photographs that have a little more artistic flair compared to my usually point-and-shoot documentation.
I think I did share this photo on here once before, maybe around a year and a half ago. I took some photos of a friends snake collection. Well, not just "snake collection"... more like "viper collection". All of these snakes were very venomous and really dangerous. Some of my favorite snakes are venomous, but it's never been worth it for me too keep one as a pet or anything. Anyway, here's the photo:
This is probably most acclaimed photo on steemit as it placed some where on 's steemit photography challenge many moons ago. I think it won and honorable mention, but still. lol This snake is a Sri Lankan pit viper, known as a "Trim Trig" which is a shortened version of it's biological name Trimeresurus trigonocephalus. I was probably closer than I should have been to this animal when I took this photo, definitely within striking range. She didn't seem it a mood to move around though.
And there's a wider version of the same photo. I don't know, I just like the cropped one more. Anyway, I hope you guys like it as well! Thanks for checking out some of these artsy-er photos of mine and for all of your feedback!
