NEW STORY: Snake Invasion In Florida

Previously unknown in Florida, many species of snakes -- such as boa constrictors and pythons -- are so well adapted to the State's subtropical climate that it's not unusual to see them in the streets of Miami.

American scientists say these invasive species could endanger native wildlife in parts of the United States.


Here I use a series of close-up shots to really illustrate these creatures to the viewer. This piece is taylor-made for tight shots. The interview with the snake handler was tough. The light source was behind him, so I over-exposed the shot to guard against silhouetting. I then corrected the picture in post-production. Over-exposing using the aperture also allowed for a very shallow depth-of-field for the interview.
