Smooth Snake Photography
Smooth Snakes are one of Europe's more elusive reptiles, and NaturesLens has built a dedicated itinerary around giving photographers a genuine chance to get close to this secretive species. With patient, expert-led guiding, the aim is to find these snakes going about their business in the wild and to capture images that reflect the skill involved in tracking them down rather than staged shots. It's a rewarding subject for anyone keen to add a genuinely tricky reptile to their portfolio.
