Photo taken at Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas.
1/80 sec at f/11, ISO 100, Nikon D7100, 300mm F/2.8 lens.
With a slow shutter speed and panning with the head of the snake to keep the head in focus, my attempt was to make it look like the snake was moving pretty fast--similar to how race car photos are taken.  I don't think it work out as well as I had hoped.

Always good to experiment, but the rest of the snake's body trailing behind and moving in the opposite direction, and the fact that your subject is right down on the ground are both working against the pan blur technique IMO.

Good experiment! I think if there wasn't more of the body in the frame it would have worked better, as Carol mentioned.
