This is a compilation of any Thamnophis I have photographed in the field. I don't have the most recent 2 ordinoides on the computer yet, So I will add to this later... I do a fair bit of field herping and have TONS of photos of other species, feel free to browse through my photobucket, just please ask my permission before using any photo.

Some ordinoides

Or a good camera!

Theses photos are Great. Is "shutter speed" what allows you to get the toungs so clear in these pics? I cant pull it off with my wimpy little sony :mad:

[drache]

fantastic photos
thanks so much for showing them

[enigma200316]

awsome pics and great looking snakes, thanks for sharing........:)

[andyoconnor83]

shutter speed helps. I am only using a Sony H9 right now with a Canon macro diopter lens. I like to shoot in natural light as much as possible, and generally like up close macro portrait shots with or without tongue of snakes. I like getting really close so I don't have to zoom in as much, which can be an adrenaline rush for shots like this...
