Rattlesnake Striking

Here are a couple of photographs from my Wildlife Photograph Reptile Workshop conducted at the “Pond At Elephant Head”.   These photographs are of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake at full Strike.  To capture the high speed strike of a rattlesnake you need to use an electronic photo trigger or you’ll miss it, your reflexes just aren’t fast enouph, no one’s are.  I use the Photo Trap Photographic Trigger System in my reptile , bat, and hummingbird workshops.
