I'm Ready For My Closeup

Her Royal Highness, Yoda, Queen of the Lizards (In her mind anyway)

This one needs more DoF though...

I'm real close to adding an iguana to my zoo.. I used to raise them, but haven't had one as a pet in close to 10 years.

Keep the photos coming so I'll end up with one that much faster!

I like it.. But, you could've at least taken that loose flake of a scale off of her highness' eye before taking that shot!! C'mon, would you want someone taking a close up portrait of you with an eyebooger sitting there on your face for the world to see??? .... I could only imagine how embarrassed she'd be if she only knew...

Definitely! But I shot this handheld, and I wasn't sure I could keep it sharp shooting at f16!

I've been reading Moose Petersons Guide To Wildlife Photography, and I've been practicing what I've been reading, including shooting off-hand.

Here's another to stimulate your iguana urge...

Grrrr...........er, ah, Hisssssss

Yes, it would have made a better portrait. But, she bites! And draws blood! She can be a real tempermental monster. So I left the loose scale right where it was.

By all means, do not let her know I posted this. She'll be unbearable if she finds out!
