Let's take a closer look!!!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

So, in the process of shooting photos for my entry in this month's contest, I came out with a lot of really nice close shots of my garters. And so with this post, I shall not only present them all to you, but I would like to ask, which one is your absolute FAVORITE because I am having a really tough time deciding which to enter this month.

I'm done! You can comment now!

Thanks!!!!!

Next we have one of the hardest garters to capture on camera due to their high contrast glow! The albino checkered garter! Some of the best shots I have taken to date that show some true color!

[Snaky]

Great pictures. I agree with Stefan on the picture to take. I would take that one and secondly this one ( but they seem a bit unnatural in this picture, than in the one the one from Stefan ):

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

lol thanks guys you are a help

[anji1971]

Just got to this now, and it looks like you've already made your entry. So I'll just play it cool and say "Yeah, that's the one I was going to pick, too. Good choice!!":D
BTW, you must have endless patience with that camera -- you sure manage to get some great shots, even if it is a pain to get them!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

271 shots were UPLOADED to the computer for this batch of about 40 pics total. That doesnt count all teh ones i deleted off the camera before I uploaded.

Yea.... I do have endless patience. It's something my mom is always commenting on. they way I will just sit there and look at the same snake for a half an hour waiting for it to do something.... It's something most people can't do.

[Thamnophis]

Very well done.

EVenthough I am not into morphs, I have to say that I love your albino checkered.

[salzar]

Shannon, i will have the multi colored dough nut please... too funny..
love them all. bye
michelle

[CrazyHedgehog]

[Stefan-A]

Hope you don't mind, but I edited one of your pictures a bit. :)

I don't know Stefan
you really must find something to do with your free time
perhaps you ought to take up quilting or something like that

[Sid]

Great shots, Shannon. Really nice Garters.

Nah, if I wanted to do something mindless and repetetive, I'd... well, lets not go there. ;)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]
