This is going to be a difficult contest... I keep looking at the pics and they are all so great!!

And I haven't caught the first tongue yet-- you guys are GOOD!! :-)

I ve got so many tongue shots but all are so blurry ( only the tongues that are flickering too fast for my camera)
I think I need an extra light for a photo that is worth to be entered in this contest.

I dont know if you can manually change the settings of your camera, but a higher shutterspeed (1/320) and a bigger diafragma (like f3.2) should do the trick. Using a flash with this settings will defenitly produce some sharp pictures, sadly the flash also 'ruins' the colors of the snakes
