Thank you very much for these wonderful photos that wake so many memories and filled my heart with this overwhelming �sweet-bitter� feeling.

Thank you once again.

Is that a Green Mamba in the tree?

Rick,

I doubt it, but that is what I told everyone as I got closer to take the photo [Big Grin]

I am afraid I am in everyone's bad books, after having played so many practical jokes on them. I have this problem of being misunderstood. Whenever I tell someone the truth, they don't believe me, and get into trouble, and whenever I tell someone a joke, they take it seriously, and I end up in trouble again [Confused]

Just as with the boy who cried wolf you now have a target of suspicion on you eh?
Very fine photos. I believe I remember you saying you were using a Canon 10D but it appears you have multiple lenses or a super zoom. Which do you feel you use most often? Are you setting the iso at particular speed or changing it? Thanks for the treat.

Frank,

These photos were taken a Nikon D1x and a Fuji S1 Pro. Lenses used were Nikon 80-400 and a Sigma 50-500.

I just zoom until I can bracket what I wisht to take a photos off. Most of teh time on maximum zoom.

I still have the Nokon, but my wife uses it most of the time, so I bought a Canon D1s.

I am looking forward to the new Sony 828. Which has an 8 MP censor, 7x optical zoom, and can take 640x480 videos at 30 fps.

I know, it does not compare with the Canon D1s, but I like to have just one camera rather than two to take both still and video of my little daughter, who has just turn one.

I think the snake is a boomslang . . . but I'm not sure. The head isn't elongated enough for a mamba, and green mambas are more central than south african.

I'll post a link to the photo on a herpetology discussion forum that I get on and see what they think . . . and if I remember when I get home, I'll send it to my brother in Jo-burg (a herpetology ph.d. candidate there) and see what he thinks.

I posted a photo of the snake, and the consensus was that it was harmless colubrid in the genus Philothamnus . . . commonly called the Green Bush Snake (there are 4 very similar species - not enough detail in the photo to tell which).

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have had requests for more of these photos, so I have made a selection and put them on 3 CDs.

Details of these CDs are available on our Contest Forum.

Friend Saeed,
Dibbs!
I think I may have posted enough to qualify for the 3 digital photo CD's, if the rules are still the same as before.

Your generosity is incredible!

Do I need to send a PM with address?

I have been printing the pics and filing them for future artistic reference material. They are excellent in the extreme. Thanks again.
