Don't get over to this forum too often, but I recently returned from several days up at the cabin near Parry Sound, Ontario. While up there I decided to make a trip over to Killbear Provincial Park, on the shores of Georgian Bay to look for the endangered Eastern Massasauga Rattlensakes. I have treid numerous times before but always came home empty handed. This time I found one. It was a youngster of about 12-14 inches and only had two segments on its rattle but it's markings were beautiful.
Using the Live View on the D800 I zoomed in on the snakes eye to manually focus. I also used the DX crop feature to get a little closer.
