Err maybe not..poor rattlers were just born looking mad

In his defense, although shooting him with a 60mm macro and being in his comfort zone, he never rattled once and never attempted to bite. I sat there and watched him crawl off the road.

Pardon the reference, but you must have a set of cojones to be shooting a rattler with a 60mm lens.

Gorgeous shot, Jason.

I could never get that close. The price for a good picture such as this is not worth the sacrifice of a bite to me. Please be careful.

Nice shot Jason. My hands, my mind or any other part of my body would never allow me to get that kind of shot. Well done!

Nice shot! I would have mounted a pocketwizard and trigger the cam with the other PW.

Nice shot, but 60mm is too close for me! Glad he was polite and quietly slithered on his way!
