All,

From my trip today at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum I found it very intriguing taking closeup macro shots of the rattlesnakes in the exhibit. This guy was curled up under a large log except his head was poking out so I took out my 70-200 f/2.8L, added an extension tube, and took this shot.

Canon Eos10D + 70-200 f/2.8L @ 200mm w/25mm extension, f/16, 1/125th sec, ISO400, Fill -1 2/3.

This is excellent. The detail is amazing, especially in the eye. I also like the closeup of the pit. Always wanted to see that, but never wanted to get close enough :)
