Hi,

Took this photo whilst on holidays in January. My kids held the shingleback for about 1/2 hour so it became a family pet!!

nice and sharp, I'm about to cut some z's and I'm sure I'm going to have nightmares about the giant killer shingleback...Max

Hi Wombat,

why is he so dark ?
If I may make a suggestion, have a play with levels in photoshop.

Cheers

It was the year 1962 !!!

we used to leave a saucer with milk in the backyard in Adelaide,
and lizards would come to have a drink.

One day this shingleback came and he noticed the saucer and he bit into the saucer with a mighty clonck !!! and then disappeared.

Cheers

Strewth! That looks like a monster from an old horror movie! Part lizard, part snake... Eeeeshhhh...

I wanted to keep it "original" and I liked the dark background which gives it an spooky look.

But it could be lightened up to give a different affect I agree.

Great photo - now comes the nightmares

Thanks for comments - I though it was a good photo - so many times when I take close ups the final product is disappointing (usually blurred) but this one had a high F stop - around 16.

By the way the kids did not lose any fingers.

Great photo.
Its very sharp, especially with the kit lens.

Thanks Marty

The original photo (over 4mb) is quite spectacular in that the colours are much better. Resizing for a web photo lost some of that "precisness" of the original thus a bit dark (especially in the background).
