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!
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.
Guide your snake around the ground, and eat up all those delicious little rat snacks! Be careful not to nibble your own tail or hit the wall, or you'll be reunited with your little friends in the great big desert in the sky!

So very many skippers in the canyon, and nearly all of them on Arizona thistle.
