After some patience I managed to get this shot

A great oppurtunity to get some interesting shots of this night adder out in the open. The adder being very reluctant in moving away but very keen on the opposer (me) , made for a chance to get on an eye to eye level with this rather upset and grumpy adder.

Using the macro setting on an old 300mm sigma lens I was able to get the depth of field I was looking for.

A striking pose
