Hand holding a 100-400mm image stabilized lense set at 400mm with a 1.6 factor for 640mm. The image stabilization seems to work fine :-)

Gopher Snake

Posted By Cal Sandfort

I usually call this a Bullsnake. These are very common and love to eat the bird eggs and babies. Canon 10D/70-200mm @ 70mm. This snake is about four feet long.
