I especially like using a digital SLR set on Macro and using a flash (to remove shadows) in direct sunlight. This way enhances the colours of the animal as well.

Also, try to ensure the subjects eyes are in focus. This will give the impression the whole photograph is actually in focus.

The hardest thing to do when photographing a moving object using macro is controlling the depth of field and the focal length. Put up a couple more photos or PM me and I can give you more detailed info mate. My wife and I are professional photographers and are more than willing to help.

If you like (and for the betterment of others) I can critique your photographs on the forum. Or I could do this in private if you like.

Cheers

Your focus point is not on the snakes head or you are too close, both these will cause fuzzy overexposed shots

Cheap cameras are good as well. You just need to do a little bit more work to get a better picture.
