Latest Photo Shoot - Venomous + Pythons

[saratoga]

Eagerly awaiting more!

Do you do any/much work in photoshop after the shoot?

Also do you have your camera settings set to vivid or just add a bit of saturation in PS...lovely realistic vibrant colours!

I do have my camera set on Saturation but I shoot in RAW so when I process with a RAW converter I tell it to remember that setting. I use a few programs to bring out the best in my images - in order are -

Capture NX2 (Process RAW files, correct colour balance etc)
DXO Optics Pro 5 (Optics And Geometry Corrections, Denoising)
Photoshop CS (Final tweaks where necessary, such as unwanted shadows on background, removing dust and sharpening final image)

Nice pictures. Note that Dajarra/Djarra is a place, not a type of snake, so you can't have a Dajarra Death Adder from Mt Isa

Thanks for the clarification Sdaji, I'll change it now.

Gorgeous photos there Shannon. Love the 2nd last photo. You see lots of photos of snakes with their tongues out but that woma looks like he's poking his tongue out with a cheeky attitude lol

A saw a baby broadheaded yesterday. What a little cutie and how easy it could be to mistaken him for a diamond python. I have learnt, now, the different head shape between snakes and pythons but a year ago I wouldn't have been picked that broadheaded as a dangerous snake.
