Oh thank you. I will look into it.Thanks a lot

I haven't been able to watch this with sound yet, but that is crazy how you handled that snake! One thing I don't miss about the foothills of California are the rattlesnakes! Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with your new camera!

California rattlesnakes sound so nice! Hopefully one day I can check them out.

I think they're amazing creatures, but we had a neighbor who was a very experienced outdoorsman and he literally stepped out his door one day and the rattler was right there-struck him twice before he could react. He spent 3 days in the hospital. I have a healthy respect for that kind of power.

wow!!!!
Yu weren't scared!!!
Your really a talented photographer !!!!
Going that close to a snake...

Let me reserve my words and just say
NEVER DIE WITH OUT SUCH A CAMERA

Oh Wow! Your confidence and composure around these creatures is really amazing! To even try to change the location and stage the shot a bit, is incredible...I swear I almost dropped my plate of food when the snake eluded your first attempt to pick it up...that's how scared I was. Did I hear you say 'chicken'? lol

This shot with the snake needs a brave heart like yours to take, well i guess you enjoyed
