Is that considered a rather deep DOF ? considering the head and the foreground body of the snake is so close.. is it because you're using f16, that's why you can achieve it ? No other way ?

My camera's maximum is f11. is there any other way to increase the f stop or make my aperture smaller ?

does using flash in your shots make the difference in DoF?

Very nice, i found your composition is always better than mine

Saw · 29th July 2002

Mega, when you first post it.. I thought you found the snake at Botanicals Gardens....Relief...

Saw · 29th July 2002

I like the first pic most. Composition is great.. The last two look sort of underexposed...Maybe you need to manually set the WB...

never see ur question ..

the snake is not moving at all ..so i use a small f-stop with slow shutter speed support with tripod to take this shot

I am not sure whether ur f11 can achieve the DOF or not , u got to test it urself ... not all camera DOF is the same

I did not use flash for the 1st shot ...
