New member with interests in Wildlife Photography and herpetology.

Hi everyone. I've just joined this forum after reading an account by one of this forum's members who's friend was bitten by an adder. I have a passion for wildlife photography especially photographing wild herpetafauna with my main interest being in snakes.
I have a website that I use to both display my photographs and to share information regarding our native wildlife.

So if you have any stories or information regarding wild snakes that you've encountered and care to share then it'd be great to chat and get to know some of you.

Hi Jason, welcome to the forum

Hiya

Excellent photographs, especially the adders you must be getting close?

You may want to consider a light watermark, this is what I use (on one of my very few wildlife images)
Just enough to force a image thief to use photoshop a bit

Thank you both for your comments. I did try a discrete watermark across some of my images but I found it too distracting. I'm happy with the small corner watermark that I use now. I had an on-line news website steal one of my adder images earlier this year to accompany a story that they had written. They just cropped out my watermark. After initially ignoring my requests for payment they finally paid up once I began the process of initiating a claim through the Small Claims Court.

PS that's a nice photograph of the male Adder Mark. I like the Autumn colours.

Hurrah, another herper. Soon we shall have an army of people defending the rights and regaling you all with tales of the beautiful adder.
