Chocoan Tree Boa (Corallus blombergi)
A collaborative single-exposure taken by myself, Jules Wyman, Julien Ueda, Quinn Agnew, and Andrew Connoy of the first Chocoan tree boa (Corallus blombergi) we encountered in Canandé Reserve this past summer, found by Julien alongside a stream on our second night in the reserve. This was one of the focal species of our surveys, and after briefly capturing it for closer study, five of us worked together on this collaborative photograph before its release. In this 84-second exposure, we each had a role: balancing the camera and timing the exposure, carefully managing the snake, illuminating the immediate scene with two off-camera flashes, illuminating the stream below with a flashlight held underwater, and lighting the surrounding forest with our flashlights.
A huge thank you to Fundacion Jocotoco for having us and to Ismael Castellano for his guidance and friendship!
