Adder
Hi to all,
Apologies for the lack of posts and comments over the last couple of weeks , this has been mainly due to work commitments ( shift work , argh!! ) and the very poor weather weve been experiencing , not been able to get out that much :frown:

With the excuses out of the way here's an Adder photographed in april.

Usm (150,1.0,2 x1) , Cropped

Canon 20D , 300F4IS , Handheld
1/4000th @ F4 iso400 jpeg ( Not sure why I shot at these settings )

All comments welcome

Kind regards
Andy... :smile:

It's a great subject, Andy. I like how it fills the whole frame (or part of it, that is :smile:), with concentration firmly on its head.

Cheers,
Marko

Classic Adder-Just needs the tongue out for perfection :toast:

Regardless of the reason for the camera settings the wide aperture is very effective.
