A ringed snake, about 40 cm long, didn't care at all about me while searching the bottom of the stream for food.
Light was tricky because everything was in shadow. To stay with ISO below 1600 and still get enough DOF I had to stay below 1/80.
You see it in the second pic. :cautious: But therefore the water is wonderfully smooth.
5D4, 100-400L II+1.4x, @560 mm, 1/30 - 1/80, f/8, ISO800-1600.
