Found this snake at a park nearby beside a stream. Used a +4 close up len on a 70-210mm I think (not sure) so ad to get really close (I was like 10 cm away from it). The risk would be the snake potentially getting angry and attacking me or my camera (it was pretty big). (5 years and 3038 days ago)

A very nice shot, and gutsy for sure!
*snicker* That's a Garter Snake... they couldn't hurt you if they wanted to. But, if you were unaware of that and overcame your fear to get the shot... it was "gutsy." Congratulations for your bravery! (it's a nice shot, too)
Agree here w/ kyricom...although harmless, if you had no idea how to identify the snake, it's gutsy enough for me...I know people who would pass out from fear just being near a snake regardless of type. (Not me of course...we have a 5 foot Python named "Monty"!)
Nice shot!
Love this shot, great DOF and tack sharp. I didn't know what lind of snake that was before Kyricom mentioned that it was a harmless Garter snake so you can be sure that I wouldn't have taken the risk! Gutsy for sure.
congrats dude !
Howdie stranger!
