I love texture and when on my trip to North Carolina recently, I stopped on a dock right outside of Kitty Hawk.As a professional Magician, I love rope and saw this bit of rope coiled on the dock and had to get a shot. The texture was perfect, old and worn like a good piece of rope should be.
I am also a big fan of reptiles (snakes, lizards and turtles). I have a healthy respect for the the poisonous snakes in our part of the world.
This rattle snake has beautiful scales and patterns and you can see the texture in and on his body.
Be sure to check out my wife's photo blog as well!
the rope is an excellent photo, great compostion
ReplyDeletep.s you were zoomed in or up close for the snake shot(?) eeeeeeeeek!
Lovely textures...love the snake(well, nit really the snake itself, but the composition, colour, its texture, clear eye, meancaing gaze...)

Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
Oh beauty! The rattle snake is such a beautiful creature with all those diamond shaped scales all over it. Great work !
ReplyDeleteI am not afraid of snakes but do respect them. They often have beautiful texture and color as you posted. The rope was pure inspiration....loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed a good piece of rope! I wish you zoomed in abit more :) love the clarity and focus selection on snake shot. I tried shooting in a similar environment at a nature reserve but even with f2.8 lens and ISO1600 (highest this thing will go) I struggled without a tripod and most of my reptile pics had blur written all over them. Just occurred to me I never tried flash lol
ReplyDeleteHate to admit it, but that's a great shot of the snake. *shudders* Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The rattlesnake is a little scary.
ReplyDeleteThe snake's a little scary, but I love the other one!
ReplyDeleteOoppsss...clever post of the rope and the snake...but am afraid of snakes...Great blog here Carroll.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a magician, but I know what you mean about a good piece of rope! That's a great composition. I like snakes, too, but keep a healthy distance to the poisonous ones.
ReplyDeleteLove the rope shot :)
ReplyDeleteNice and simple with the rope shot. Very good job. I'll pass on the snake shots though.
