A slow,long walk with somewhat lighter gear in tow today. Only carried a fanny pack with the 18-55 and polarizer,neutral density graduated, the D3100 with the 180mm 2.8 and TC-201. Had on the belt the Canon S100 and the Iphone. Used the 180mm to capture the mother alligator with her babies. The first time, the contrast was too great. On the return walk, better. The rat snake was taken with the Canon S100. He was not spooked and let me get within four inches of him. I tried to get more with his tongue out, but only one came out. I used manual focus, fill flash and under-exposure by about two stops. The snake would look at the black lens and kind of bend its head. I could have taken more, but figured one was enough and I let him slowly slither on.
They dwell in grass
the unspoken
the lowly pass
never knowing.
