Remember, safety is always the most important thing. If you are ever unsure about anything, ask your guide for advice.

Safety:

  • Always be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. African bush vipers are venomous snakes, and it is important to have someone with you who knows how to identify and handle them safely.
  • Wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Long pants, sturdy shoes, and gloves will help to protect you from bites and scratches.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. African bush vipers are often camouflaged in their environment, so it is important to pay attention to where you are stepping and placing your hands.
  • Move slowly and deliberately. Avoid making sudden movements that could startle the snake.
  • Do not try to handle the snake yourself. If you need to move the snake, allow your guide to do so.

Photography:

  • Use a telephoto lens. This will allow you to get close-up photos of the snake without having to approach it too closely.
  • Shoot in manual mode. This will give you more control over your camera settings, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
  • Use a fast shutter speed. This will help to freeze the snake's movement and prevent blurry photos.
  • Use a low ISO. This will help to reduce noise in your photos.
  • Use a tripod. This will help to keep your camera steady and prevent blurry photos.

Here are some additional tips for safely photographing African bush vipers:

  • Shoot from a low angle. This will give you a more dramatic perspective and help to emphasize the snake's size.
  • Use a shallow depth of field. This will blur the background and help to focus attention on the snake.
  • Be patient. African bush vipers are often shy snakes, so it may take some time to get a good photo.
