the eurycid salamanders

[Sushigaijin]

here are the two salamanders in the genus Eurycea that we found, the first one is a cave salamander Eurycea Lucifuga and the second is a longtailed salamander, Eurycea Longicauda. Both images are in situ, when the opportunity presents itself I prefer to not pose my subjects. Both of these taken in complete darkness with my diffused maglite for focus light, and diffused flash. Both taken about 10 inches from my subject.

Erik.

very nice, i may have to try difused flashes. yours came out really well. i like the first one alot, i love the moss bits in it i think.


and wow i've never seen the (forget exactly what they are called, help me out here- but the naso something- that they use to smell/taste liquids, hanging down over their top lips) so well before.

Once again, very nice! I especially like the 2nd one - how he's holding himself up - can't pose stuff like that anyway. Bravo for leaving them in their elements.

10" is pretty nice working distance to get these close-ups/macros. Keeps the subjects from getting too jittery without you having to back up too far.
