Meet Kaa. He's a patient at work. He's a big, beautiful Diamond Python, but right now he's not feeling too good.
Today was an OK day. I had a bad start - could not get my xray factors to work. I was getting a little agitated as our oxygen delivery was late, and we were running low on gas for the anaesthetic machine. All the while no matter what factors I used, I could not get a decent exposure. Finally the server on the digital xray developer crashed, and I was then able to get one plate through with good exposures. They happened to be the first factors I used, funny. Or not.
I just assumed my run of bad days was continuing :) But then we had a lull in consults, and Kaa piped up and volunteered to model for me.
Shot with EF 35mm f/2 set at f/6.3, 1/200s iso2000! 580EXII on-board, bounced to ceiling, with FEC +2 from memory. Oh, and 31mm of extension tubes in behind the lens :)
You can see my hand, and camera, in the reflection, as well as Robyn, my nurse. I was holding my camera in one hand, using live-view to focus by moving the camera in and out. My left hand was holding Kaa near his head, and Robyn was holding the remaining 2 metres of him!
