Travel Photography: Having a friend over for dinner. Mans head in crocodile's mouth. Shot of the Month - December 2011
This shot was taken on a Nikon digital SLR and standard zoom lens on the beautiful island of Koh Samui in Thailand. The crocodile farm on Koh Samui has regular shows where the trainers often put their heads inside the crocodile's mouth to show how fearless they are or how tame the crocodiles are. This photograph has been carefully cropped to exclude the row of headless bodies lying in the background. Obviously this would have been far too graphic for a digital photography website aimed at families and the general public. Seriously, you have to admire these guys for waking up to a the smell of a crocodile's breath every morning. The image was slightly hacked to bits and chopped up in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
If you would like your digital photograph to be considered for shot of the month, please send it to the editor with your details, image title, digital camera or SLR equipment used & any special effects or techniques used. 35mm or large format slides scanned and manipulated in Adobe Photoshop (or other photo editing package) can also be considered as the final output is part of digital photography.
