You are a coward but a good photographer

. . Thank you, the brave man.


My Instagram page is @timagex photography and nature_with_nikon. I follow back... .

Hello people. My name is Taiwo and I am a portrait and nature photographer based in Nigeria. Today, August 19 is world photography day. I had an encounter with a snake around May, and I have decided to share the experience today. 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). Our landlord turned on his generator and we took the opportunity to charge. After plugging our devices, some of us sat outside to receive fresh air and wait till 9pm (when the generator will go off). . I was reading a novel with my disloyal Torchlight (Just wait to see the disloyalty ) 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.

Suddenly, I started having this farmilar feeling of "something wants to happen". 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. 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 !! it was very close to me!!! . 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!! . Ladies and gentlemen, , the speed at which I jumped up from the plastic chair amazes me till today!! I shouted blood of Jesus and ran inside the lodge to alert others. The ladies stayed back. of course!! 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! The devil suggested I preserve it in my room till the next morning!! . What if it wakes up and decides to cuddle me in the midnight?

So, I took a few shots the next morning and replaced the slightly smashed head in Photoshop. 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.

cc help me push it to the promise Land.

Chief, for the frequency separation on the faces, try to reduce the opacity on the original layer a bit. It makes the pictures look more real. Nice shots by the way...

Hello..... Good job sir. I have a thing for old-school cars. Particularly Mercedes. How much can I get a clean one? Something like this or the baby Benz....

sexylassie2:
I agree ooh, mama preach.

Gdskillful:
U know alot of people are using airtime and data.
Corona Corona and Every Business is Shutting Down But Guess What?

My Business is Increasing Sales Because People want to know what's happening around the world , so they buy Airtime, Data and Subscribe to the Cable TV and Electricity Bill to Get Updates on What Next and I get paid�*

*Even if Everyone is out of Business, I'm still in Business.*
Drop your Whatsapp number for more info

Or chat up gdskillful@ 09074150561
Over 3million people recharge every hour, the best way is to look for what people can do without, which is telecom.
Airtime, data, Cable.

So recharge and get paid has given Nigerian the opportunity to own a platform where they can be paid for what they us just like the bank make money when we do all this things.

Sounds interesting...

with Drive Mode Select, you can actually alter your Lexus vehicle’s personality thanks to different settings like high-energy Sport mode, which adjusts the powertrain for faster gear changes, and mellow Eco mode, which moderates the vehicle’s engine behavior for increased fuel efficiency.

That's serious. Thanks for the insight. I have always had interest in cars...

Price for consistency and hardwork... remember when they first started, most Nigerian celebs didn't really support them . I remember Davido ( though as controversial as he may be) donated a sum of 1m to them. Now they got the attention of the production crew of Extraction. A lesson to anyone out there keep pushing and support it with prayers, you're one content away from big break.

Omo..see all the things wey dy dash these boys while me wey b dn old never see money buy camera.. abeg if you have a camera you are not using.. please help me regardless of condition I go manage am like dt.i don tire to dy sleep dy wake up

Was this not the same Lamborghini that patoranking bought for 89million naira? How come? Which one is the real price?

Curious mind...

Odion2016:

So, your own 2004-2006 Camry is 5 months old? . Happy sales sir.

Etemma1:
So what if it has Toyota Steering? How does that affect the car or its functionality.

Is it your car? Did you spend money on the car or something?

Do you have any interest in buying the car? Have you inspected the car before, do you even know the history? What's your problem or your issue with the car?

You guys on Nairaland just have a way of always being Negative about everything. It's really bad.

It's well with you oh! Oga perfect.

. You must calm down Bros. . I'm not saying something is wrong with the car, all I'm saying is, something looks wrong. . Happy sales sir. Nice car by the way...

theo07:

fabienjoe:
Hmm! Detailed history needed on this one...

. Abi o!!

Nice car. What I can't fathom is, why is that seat beside the driver so bad, and the driver's own is neat? O wrong nau. .

This is the body of es300 sir.
