Evening all.

Hemidactylus frenatus ... famous for their chuckle or laugh.

Tonight I managed to get up close and personal to one of these little lizards. Extremely friendly, and was rewarded with a nice fat moth for his/her cooperation.

I had an absolute ball photographing this critter... C&C most welcome and appreciated. Hope you enjoy.







 PS: Resized the shots a little bit larger then normal due to constant requests.


Cheers

thanks mate.

Yes.. one handed macro photography. You'll like this... with off camera flash also

Presumably using your teeth as well Mark

But seriously, very nice pics of a skittish subject.

My wife said I looked a bit like gumby using my chin to change focus on lens, and gently kicking the tripod with the flash on it.

I hope that you enjoyed the moth as much as I'm enjoying looking at these images.

Awesome shots all of them. I love the 3rd pic of the gecko's eye as it's very sharp and a big thumbs up to you using 1 hand to capture all the pics.

Thankyou ebarra8....
