Somehow I managed to be the first one home, but the last one to post.
For some reason, quite a few of my photos seemed to lend themselves to a square crop

The most photographed lizard in the world.
For this shot I tried using the 105 Macro WITH the 2x converter.

Some went for the panorama. I went for the detail.
Seconds before, this little peak had cloud swiriling around it. By the time I got the camera sorted, it was beginning to be covered.

I was really taken by the light on the plants juxtaposed by the dark of the rocks behind

The water dragon coming towards you looks so much better (I totally missed that boat :(). I kinda would have liked to see it's front claws reaching over that lip at the bottom.

thats a pretty tight shot greg!

I would dial in some negative exposure then work from there to avoid the bright spot on his face. for example..

I would love to know what that scaling spiky skin feels like...
