What distance was this taken from?

About six inches to a foot away. See my shadow on the right?

Shot with an 11mm lens.

And yes, it is a live snake...

Nice to see those prairie rattlers. A friend of mine that is now a Texas Ranger (law enforcement) and I used to find 'em in prairie dog holes when we were kids.

Russell, that is NUTS, man! 11mm and filling the frame?!!! Dude!

M.C. says she would have taken a baseball bat to you for that. (and I believe her)
