Wild day yesterday. Sitting down watching a GBH and out of the corner of my eye I see this little snake head pop out of the water.
I watch and next time he poped up it was with a fish :)

He then beat the fish into submission against a tree limb, like he needed it after being speared!
He fliped it up and.... He droped it! He jumped so fast back into the water i missed the shot.
Then he came back up downed the fish and climbed up the limbs to the sun and posed for me :)

Very cool shots, great timing and exposure in what looks like difficult lighting conditions. Did you use a flash?

Thanks alot everyone :) Thanks for the comments!

Lighting there is always a trip for sure! Lots of shadows, with a lot of action so the light changes from one shot to the other fast. Learning to shot in manual mode is trying at times.
Finding this forum and reading comments from all threads I read, help alot .
Lots of good info, Thanks again :)

No flash on these shots but you know I will try that next time for sure!
