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. | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

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! | | | |
