that's why your work is even more impressive, cuz I even saw d flash u using too is regular. If u can do this with regular tools, na imagine what u will do if u were d ones that got camera equipment from Netflix. U will go far with shots like this
. I'm willing to admit that, my gear is slowing me down. I'm just doing the best I can. We keep working. We keep moving. Thanks for the motivation. cheesy

. I agree with you. I seriously want to explore that niche. In all honesty, it was after killing it and making some enquires online that I discovered it was non poisonous. But, we have Sha killed it. grin

Lol. You killed it so fast cheesy. Watch lots of documentaries, read Natgeo publications, create your own wildlife notes in your spare time. Follow wildlife photographers. If you don’t know them, just follow Natgeo, they tag most of their photographers when they display their pictures.

Try doing picture series that have a theme. “Humans of Lagos“, “Agberos of Lagos”, “A Day In The Life of A Nigerian Child”...etc

I look forward to seeing your works. smiley

Hello people. smiley My name is Taiwo and I am a portrait and nature photographer based in Nigeria. Today, August 19 is world photography day. cheesy I had an encounter with a snake around May, and I have decided to share the experience today. cool I did my NYSC P.O.P on August 16, so, by May, I was still a corper.

It was in Akure, Ondo state. There was no electricity (as usual). undecided Our landlord turned on his generator and we took the opportunity to charge. smiley After plugging our devices, some of us sat outside to receive fresh air and wait till 9pm (when the generator will go off). grin. I was reading a novel with my disloyal Torchlight (Just wait to see the disloyalty grin) and my back was resting on the fence. So, it was some minutes past eight and everyone has gone inside to do one thing or the other. I was alone outside. cool

Suddenly, I started having this farmilar feeling of "something wants to happen". undecided I initially thought maybe a scorpion was around or something. I turned on my Torchlight to shine around me, I didn't see nothing. My body was supposed to calm down after doing that, but it didn't. I instantly knew something bad was around the corner. My heart raced faster. sad I didn't know what told me to on the Torchlight again and shine it right beside me!! Brothers and sisters, by my left, I saw a fairly big royal python coming towards me !! shocked shocked shocked it was very close to me!!! shocked shocked. Immediately the light from my torch fell on it, it stopped and kind of looked up at the light!!!!! That was the moment my very wicked Torchlight decided to blink twice and go off!! cry cry cry grin grin. Ladies and gentlemen, cool, the speed at which I jumped up from the plastic chair amazes me till today!! grin cheesy cheesy I shouted blood of Jesus and ran inside the lodge to alert others. The ladies stayed back. undecided of course!! grin we looked for sticks and I made sure I didn't smash the head more than once, because, the photographer in me just saw an opportunity to take pictures of a python! cool The devil suggested I preserve it in my room till the next morning!! shocked shocked. What if it wakes up and decides to cuddle me in the midnight? smiley grin

So, I took a few shots the next morning and replaced the slightly smashed head in Photoshop. cool Nobody helped me to hold the dead snake or the stick it was on. Very challenging, but, I got the shot and I am happy.
Shots were taken on my Nikon d40x and 55-200mm lens. I need a better camera for wildlife and stuffs. Yes I know!! But, economy is hard. cheesy

cc help me push it to the promise Land. grin grin

What in nature are you photographing when you've already destroyed it by killing it?

Isoright
The body design and colour of python dey amaze me
Op you for nor kill this beautiful creature

They don't bite to defend and attack

They only swallow small small animals..,.
If we keep our cool... then a Human python cohabitation is very possible
Even the so called venomous snake like viper, black mamba and cobra don't attack humans....they can even live with us a residential building.... without biting us....
Since i was born...I never hear say snake bit person for House
That Is A Wise Saying.

My thoughts as well. Wildlife photographers don't kill Animals. If you do in the developed world, you'll be cooling off in jail.

A very nice picture, but this is not wildlife.


Penboy:
Upcoming wildlife photographer and you're killing snakes. What you ought to be preserving.

Well done sir.
