My Best Photos

[asnakelovinbabe]

I love to take photos and this should be no secret just by the few threads I have started here on this forum. The purpose of THIS thread will be for me to showcase, what in my opinion are some of my best work. For me some of the best views I have ever gotten of the world were from behind the lens of my camera and luckily I can share that with everyone.

These photos will be a medley of captive and wild herps as well as a few non herps probably...

I'm Done!

[UwabamiReptiles]

Gosh dang you take a mean picture!

[Trent]

WOW.These are some of the best photos I ever seen!!
Again awesome!!!!

[asnakelovinbabe]

Thanks! I enjoy taking them in case you havent noticed :)

[alessia55]

My goodness these are AMAZING! :eek: You've got obvious talent!!

[DragonsEye]

Some very nice shots. Amazed the garters and the other snakes stayed still long enough to shoot. Love the color on the blue garter and the yellow & black boa/python! Neat seeing all the garter ?morphs? -- I've never seen most of them before. Sweet little jumping spider. Surprised you were able to get such a close shot of the solfugid -- they tend to spook very easily.

[Norm66]

Amazing photos all around. Tanks for taking the Tim to share them.

[Wolfus_305]

Wow, they are all beautiful!!

I especially love the ones of the geckos on the flowers.. are they your pet geckos? I have a feeling if I ever put my Gary on a flower he'd take off and I'd never be able to catch him, he's quite feisty!

[shaunyboy]

all your pictures are pretty amazing

that blue chondro is a really special snake imo

what camera equiptment do you use ?

between your eye for a great picture and your equiptment,you produce some of the best pictures i've seen:D

cheers shaun

[SSSSnakes]

Nice photos. I'm not much into the cool background as you are but here are a few of what I think are my best pictures.

Maybe someday I'll get as good as you, but for now I'll take what I call my lucky shots. That means I take about 100 pictures and hope that 1 or 2 come out looking good. Thanks the Lord for digital cameras. lol

[millertime89]

you take some fantastic pictures! How many of animals those are yours?

[Swany]

@asnakelovinbabe. Can you tell me what the insect ? is that looks like a cross between a wasp a grasshopper and a butterfly lol. I've never seen anything like it before :-)

[alessia55]

This is one of your photos, asnakelovinbabe.... what kind of snakes is this?

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll86/aSnakeLovinBabe/Snakes/Rats/476081.jpg

[BarelyBreathing]

Alessia, that's a white sided black rat snake. I've got one of those at my studio!

Jerry, I love the first picture!

[GarterPython]

I'm guessing you like Garters! :)

Actually I'm not using any equipment other than my stock Panasonic lumix DMC fz-18!

Wonderful photos! I love the one of the baby crot!

[asnakelovinbabe]

A lot of them are or we're min at some point! ALL of the garters other than a few wild Easterns were part of a massive collection I had at one point.

[asnakelovinbabe]

@asnakelovinbabe. Can you tell me what the insect ? is that looks like a cross between a wasp a grasshopper and a butterfly lol. I've never seen anything like it before :-)



I think you are talking about the grasshopper with red wings? It was a huge locust we found while in Florida staying for the Daytona expo! It got scared of me and stared threat displaying with its wings!!!

[asnakelovinbabe]

I'm guessing you like Garters! :)


Like is an understatement. I have proudly worked with almost every species/subspecies it's possible to acquire here! I at one time had what may have been the most diverse collection (species wise) in the states!!! I had to give it up for the time being though due to a few personal reasons. Garters are very high maintenance!

[Swany]

We don't have critters like that here and tbh if it had started displaying at me like that, I'd have been scared if it ;-)

[asnakelovinbabe]

We don't have critters like that here and tbh if it had started displaying at me like that, I'd have been scared if it ;-)

Hahaha! I was absolutely fascinated by it! So pretty.... I love inverts and I love threat displays!!! It was pretty intimidating for just being an oversized grasshopper!

[Swany]

It's beautiful, Iv'e never seen anything like it before. How big was it, tip to tail ?

[asnakelovinbabe]

About 4 inches! It was massive!!!

[jaleely]

oh i just sat her like, making noises out loud and aweing and oh'ing at how beautiful these are. THe animals are amazing, and you have taken such stunning photos of them!
I couldn't possibly pic a favorite. just wow!!

[Swany]

About 4 inches! It was massive!!!

In that case, I'd have needed a LARGE zoom lens to get the shot lol. The only thing remotely resembling that we have in Scotland, is what we call a wood wasp, which is about 2 ins long, if they're flying you hear them before you see them, but as far as I know they dont have a stinger, they just LOOK mean :-)

I can!! Mother centipede with her babies. I think it is the most beautiful image I have tAken!

[alessia55]

Where do you go field herping?????

[Swany]

Where do you go field herping?????

I think thats gonna be a secret Alessia :-)

[GarterPython]

I love Garter Snakes! I am yet to aquire one though because my parents hate snakes. The whole convincing them thing is still a work in progress!:laugh: My all time favorite Garter Snake is the Melanistic Wandering Garter Snake. I love the clean, pure black look that it has.

[alessia55]

I think thats gonna be a secret Alessia :-)

That's not fair! I live right near her and I want to get to go out and see reptiles in the wild... I've never done that :(

[Swany]

Try a really really nice PM ;-)

[AaronRiot]

My desktop would like to thank you, hope you don't mind :):)

[asnakelovinbabe]

I'll pm you about my herping locations, I do not reveal them publicly for a lot of reasons! Most places are private land anyways, one of them being farmland owned by my family!
