Snake that is 
On one of my mountainbikiking/hiking expeditions to Nowendoc NP last week I found this healthy looking snake at the bottom of the canyon. I was careful not to get too close though, being by myself and no one knowing where I was, including me! Well I knew approximately where I was, but the 35year old maps I had to rely on were not a great deal of use as the tracks through the bush have a changed a lot in that time.
I was able to grab 3 pics before it slid off into the undergrowth, using the 105Micro.

good work getting these shots of the tiger snake.
The ones I have seen have wanted to be aggressive towards me so I elected to give em a wide berth.

SHIT!!!!!
I wouldn't have been taking pics of it with a 500mm, let alone a 105 micro, tiger snakes are notoriously aggressive, I'm surprised it didn't go you!
Nice shot though, good to see people risking life and limb for their hobby   2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc http://www.awbphotos.com.au

If I had my camera, I would probably have been silly enough to try for these shots

yea, not only are they aggressive, but they have really really nasty venom too! I moved slowly and let it see where I was going, so I guess it figured I wasnt a threat to it. I had my snake bite kit with me, but I guess that would have just delayed death by a few hours if it had attacked!

I can vouch for these guys being agressive I've seen them chase my dad and they were pretty intent on getting him come hell or high water. One thing I can tell you is they are fast swimmers too fast when your trying to run in wet waders!
Nice shots Gordon, I'm glad common sense prevailed and your still with us. Plenty of detail there without needing to get any closer!

Great shots Gordon. The last one shows that the snake was getting a little bit annoyed. His/Her head has flattened out some, I think you made a wise choice to move on.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.
