for connoisseurs of biotar swirl..

A highly attractive adult Brown Tree Snake (Boiga irregularis) from the southern brigalow-belt in the inland of south-eastern Queensland. Showing the typical coiled posture adopted by the species upon feeling threatened.

Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 DSLR coupled to a vintage M42 mount Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 2/58 (Silver semi-automatic preset version with 10 blade aperture) from the 1950's. An M42 9mm extension tube incorporated. Shot hand-held @ 2.0 with reflected side-lighting utilized. Apart from RAW conversion and the most basic of edits, image taken as is. The swirling biotar bokeh is superbly expressed here.

I just love my Biotar..
