European Adder

Went on an excursion with Aurskog og Høland Fotoklubb under the very professional guidance of Thor Håkonsen. The goal for the day was to find and photograph these reptiles in their natural habitat. I would never have seen them if it hadn’t been for Thor’s guidance and local knowledge. Thor willingly shared his vast experience from photographing reptiles all over the world. We saw about ten individuals; I managed to photograph a couple of them, as did my colleagues from the club. It was a rewarding experience — learning more about the animals and being able to take close-up pictures under Thor’s proper supervision.
