Some people put them in a secure container, then put a hide on them and leave them alone for like 5 minutes or something. Then they go in, take out the hide, and take photos while the snake is still curled up.

Vicky pretty much hit the nail on the head. you gotta be QUICK though, and it helps if you have an assistant to pull off the hide (i usually use a big ceramic bowl). focus your camera BEFORE you pull off the bowl, as well.

Surrounded by snakes
Yup, that's a trick I've used successfully with my crew.
Another technique is to let the snake roam (in a safe spot), and simply wait for them to pause - with your camera focused and ready to go. Even the flightiest corns will stop to "think" or smell every once in a while! I also have a small light tent, which I've used for the Ball Pythons... but the corns get a little spooked in there, probably because there's nowhere to hide or flee.
