100% true! You certainly proved that here

She's right.. I have never used anything fancy for all those picture I take.

I am buying one! I have commented on another of your threads about how good I thought your pics where! I am surprised that such quality can be obtained from such a relatively cheap camera. All I have is my phone and an old Olympus om10. Not great.

Awesome! Love the smooth greens and the red bellieds. What state are you in? Got some good herpin

Absolutely incredible pictures!!! I am a horrible photographer- every picture I take comes out blurry, or out of focus or off on the lighting. I just don't seem to have an eye for it. So I really enjoy looking at other people's professional shots!!! Keep 'em coming!!

P.S. @ asnakelovinbabe, where in PA do you live? I'm down near Philly.

asnakelovinbabe · 02-03-12, 10:14 AM

Me too! I live in hilltown! It's about 45 mins outside of philly.

You, me, and Will0W are all just 45mins away from each other

that is pretty awesome! Good to know I am not alone out here

So amazing! I have not done hardly any photography this past couple years. I used to be in a photography club years ago! It was really fun to always keep my camera with me waiting for that perfect shot. haha this was back when i used film!!
You have some amazing shots, and of course the critters are all beautiful.

PA ftw.

Honestly, you must be a good field herper because I have never managed to find a smooth green or really anything besides the common toad and garter snakes.

Have you ever run across a hognose in your travels?

An Eastern Hoggy is my holy grail as far as PA is concerned! I know of an area where sometimes they have been seen, but eastern hoggies are very rare in PA and so I will have to hunt high and low! Believe it or not there are many species I have not yet located in PA... black rats and copperheads being two that people find all the time and yet, I NEVER FIND THEM!

But I do know one thing... when I hit an area that has them, I will find them. I sure know how to find snakes!

you guessed it!

gigantea, i got a line on subspines and another i cant remeber the name, but the gigantea is unfortunatly extremely hard to breed, and their for not worth it for a breader to bother around here at least. i might pick up a subspines in april at the bcrc show this year, if their is any thier.
