Night Adder Visists Us!

So what became of it?
 
Its a nice camera, but in all fairness virtually camera could have taken that shot.

Also all my settings were not right. I only noticed afterwards that the ISO was still at 400 from a previous shoot. Created a bit of noise. Just grabbed the camera and ran to get the shot.

You shouldn't be getting much noise at 400 surely?
 
Its not a Canon:D so there is a bit. But then again I am very picky about it. I even clean ISO 100 shots up. Even the best cameras ISO 100 shots can do with a noise clean-up if you are going to be blowing the shot up.

I ran that shot through the Noiseninja PS2 plug-in. It cleaned up virtually all of it.

Damn. That is one serious snake. Do you live in a rural kind of setting?

Its actually quite a small snake, about 60- 70cm long.

No I will in a normal suburb of Pietermaritzburg. There is a bit of forestry behind us, but these snakes are relatively common in the area.

In that case I don't want to know what you classify as a large snake. :D Plus, its poisonous...
 
Its not too bad, a bit of swelling at the bite site and maybe a mild to severe headache from what I understand.
 
Danger to man: The venom is only mildy cytotoxic and generally not dangerous to man. No human deaths have been recorded to date.

Venom: Cytotoxic causing pain and swelling and occasionally necrosis. May cause acute discomfort in some cases.

I had one of these blokes under my couch in the lounge a few years ago, house had been locked up for the holidays while family was away, was watching TV & as i stood up i saw it right between my feet! I jumped & ran like a little girl. Didnt bite thank god.

I think finding on like that would have most of us screaming like a little girl too!

Yeah I love it. I reckon its worth two or three stops in terms of noise reduction. Even Iso 100 shots that are critical get the noise ninja treatment. Its a must have.

You seeing much of a difference on your shots?

I only really see noise at ISO 1600 (sometimes 800 too but not as much) but I'll try pushing things a bit and see what happens.
