Some stuff I got in the post early this week from the nice people at O'Reilly's. They know how to make us geeks happy, well, I am anyway. I'll be bringing these along to the Python Ireland meetup. Books to be raffled, rest is first-come, first-serve. :)
Albino Pythons.
One photo from a 12 photo series called, "All The Pretty Snakes....(& Belly Dancers)"

National Geographic photographer and Nikon Ambassador Roger Strandli Brendhagen returned to Bergen during the city's most popular annual photography exhibition to redo his triumph from last time: Nikon Walk of Macro, taking interested Nikon photographers (and a few others too) from all over Bergen to Akvariet to make sure all the reptiles and amphibians there won't be able to see for the next few months.
With the photographers armed with macro lenses and flashes of all shapes and sizes, from 60mm to 200mm, from speedlights to ray flashes to dedicated macro flashes, the poor reptiles never knew what hit 'em. For me, this meant a welcome reencounter with my friend from last time, Mr. Python Regius. Though using the same lens as before, this time it was actually my own. =P
This time too there was a competition, and the best picture will be awarded a Nikkor 60mm ED AF-S Micro. This is my contribution, hope I'm in better luck this time! =)
Update: I was in a bit more luck this time, actually - this photo won the competition! =D
I believe this is quite a rare shot, actually - of the couple of hours we spent there, the snake almost never did anything like this. I was lucky to have my finger ready at the trigger AND the snake in focus when it happened. Lucky shot, indeed!
An exotic African Rock Python (Python sebae) captured in the wild just NE of Everglades National Park, Florida.
No, we are not talking the programming language here. This reptile has just had its lunch and decided to take a nap just beside the wall.
The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 metres (12 ft) long, but may reach up to 5.74 metres (19 ft)
