Adder sunbathing on heathland yesterday. Distance from lense (my hands) to the adder was about 40cm and this type of image is only really possible (safely) if there are two of you. I was out with Danny who is also well acustomed to manovering/finding reptiles.

Nice, definately a moment i'd want a crop sensor rather than a FF one ;)
Good image, no nits here.

Done a fair bit of adder photography, but never this tight in - good job you had a tripod on otherwise some of the hand shake would have transfrerred to the camera me thinks!!
Well worth it though, and I like this a lot.

Love the fire-red eyes and the cool blue rock. A high impact image of which I am very jealous!
